[quote=Goldmarble]Tell me how Police, Firefighters, Construction Workers, Doctors and so on need a Government to operate?[/quote]

God, what a fucking colossal waste of time. It speaks wonders for western society that this even needs to be discussed.

Private donations are in a small volume, are not reliable, and are not efficiently used. The government allocates the resources it receives through taxes and other sources of government funding to areas where those resources are needed. Abandoning government gets rid of that allocation system and annihilates the foundation of all of those services. 

Detroit is an example of why a lack of a functioning government DOESN'T work. It's the shittiest major city in North America.
