Yes, everyone, let's ignore that roads used to be funded and constructed by businesses, so you could patronize them without having to change your flat tires.
Yes, everyone, let's ignore the existence of volunteer fire/medic departments, and that you sometimes get billed, in addition to the taxes you already pay, if you use "the government's" public safety employees/contractors.
Yes, everyone, let's ignore the hundreds of trash companies that bill you for trash pickup, if you don't want to pay to drive your waste directly into the dump.
