Yes, it has created a habit among the general population. People have been indulging this habit for so long now, that they've forgotten there are alternatives like lawful money available. It's understandable that they think their tax revenue supports the state, even though the evidence points to tax revenue being unnecessary for the state to remain existing. That's another old habit that - in my opinion - needs to be kicked.
