If not for taxes you would have no police no fire department, no roads, no bridges, no army, no regulated market place, no hospitals. Not all taxes are the same.
Soooo..., In your view the best we can do is to have the government take care of us. I can agree that some of your scenario is correct. Actually, no I can't. What can't be done better by private citizens with a profit motive? What? The education system is the best example. If there is one thing we can do for our children that would benefit them more than any other thing it would be to abolish the national department of education and then, without hesitation, abolish all state departments of education.
In such a scenario our children can finally be educated. Would you not agree?
All those things can be provided by private enterprise, paid for by use fees. Ask a libertarian.
