if people believed the states provide useful services there would be no need to threaten them with violence if they refused to pay.
the obvious fact is that almost no one would buy the government's services at the current price.

Except that the majority of folks do "buy" the government's services at the current price. Hence why you are an outlier on an obscure internet site for a digital currency a small percentage of the world even knows exists, and not out speaking to masses of folks who agree with you.

when i say buy i mean voluntary exchange of services for money.
paying the government at the point of a gun is not buying.
you don't know who i am, i don't see how you can make any claims regarding who i speak to.
attacking me personally won't justify your belief that having a group of people called the government force you to buy something at the point of a gun is anything but plain robbery.
