However, there are more people than just the worse off in society which require protection. That is why governments must also manage the justice system (to punish citizens who harm others), the legislature (to enact laws that protect citizens), and the military (to protect citizens from foreign nations).Wouldn't private enterprise offer a higher quality service in those areas? Why should I spend my dollar buying government justice, legislature, or defense? Further, why should government have a monopoly on these services/products?
