Did you?
Governments exist to regulate power, thus setting a stable viable economic environment (laws, transportation systems, currency etc.) for private businesses to safely and effectively operate AND not cannibalize each other.
Services are merely a cog in this wheel to a greater or lesser extent. These are the things taken for grated while taxation is demonized.
You want, or actually need governments to fulfill the role of the private sector when the private sector can not fulfill the requirements of a stable viable economic environment.
This is also a gross oversimplification as a response to an even larger oversimplification.
