If they don't claim that, then they're not a government, just a business providing a service in harmony with morality (non-aggression principle), and we're back to rational anarchy. Which is good. :) Also, can't believe no one has linked to this instant-classic: Market Anarchy Explained: ''But Who Will Build The Roads?'' http://www.amazon.com/dp/1425769403/ Even a voluntarily funded government is unacceptable if that institution tries to claim a monopoly right to initiate force against individuals in a certain geographic area.

A lot of minarchists don’t even believe in taxes.

Then they’re okay in my book. In my opinion, that’s the crux of the issue. Once governments became purely voluntarily-funded, they might actually start to have some value (and cease to be anything like what we call “government” today).
