There's an important distinction to be made here that is often overlooked and misunderstood. Government does not always equal the State. These two terms are often used interchangeably and that is fine but IMO we do not need a State. We do need governance. That governance can be private and voluntary. Governance has a value. The issue is that the State has a monopoly on violence and many other things over an area of land. This monopoly leads to the problems we see with the State. Because of this monopoly on governance the State steals from the people and call this taxation. There are many books on private governance and places around the world where it is being tried. There are cities even in the US that have largely private governance. We know competition leads to better outcomes so of course it would with governance as well.

The biggest issue with taxation is that we lie about what it truly is. It is theft. It is not legitimate. This is the essence of what is wrong with the State. It seeks to perpetuate itself. It doesn't seek to perpetuate the prosperity of its citizens. The perfect State would seek to obsolete itself, not fight more more power and control.
