You do make a valid argument, but I disagree. Even though with government you have to be in the military if needed and you have to pay taxes, these "sacrifices" often benefit both you and the rest of society. The military protects you, your loved ones, and the rest of society, and the taxes you pay often go to a cause that helps you. Also, if people are struggling to pay their bills, the government assists them with food or other necessities. Your tax dollars also maintain our infrastructures, which everyone uses and benefits from.

I believe that government is completely necessary for many reasons. If we did not have government we would constantly be in danger, given that with no government there are no rules. Someone could walk up to you on the street and shoot you and they would not be punished because there is no law saying that you can't. Also, without the government there would be no schools and most likely no education. Some people may see no school as a good thing, but without it you cannot learn many of the concepts that you need in life. There would be no currency without government, because it produces and regulates it. Without currency there are no stores to get life's necessities from, so you would have to find a way to get everything on your own. The government oversees public works, which is regulation of water supply, roads, and many other things. Without it water would often be unsafe to drink and roads would not not be safe to travel on. As you can clearly see, we need the government in order to function and go about our daily lives in the safest and best ways possible.
