How about if you work as a bartender in a restaurant and the owner requires that all tips are pooled, and you think that your hard work shouldn’t subsidize lazy people like Not Bob (a hipster server who wears a pork pie hat)? Do you think that you should be able to opt-out of the tipsharing and still expect to work at that restaurant?

That's kind of the point of everything that a government does.
