I think you mean "freeloader".

So someone who is forced to pay taxes at gunpoint is a freeloader? I'm not sure I follow (unless you are specifically arguing against anarchists on some sort of welfare/social security).

Someone who wants all the priviliges of living in a particular society without having to pay for any of them is, yes, a freeloader.
