IMO, we need government.
Go back to basics...

Don't you know @DarthCoin? Don't you know that the only way we can have medicine and roads is if we have a government with guns to force us to pay for it....
Yet we don't need guns to force people to make pizza. We just need people willing to make it for something in exchange. The programming is deep. War is peace. Slavery is freedom.

For all of those what government has been distorting things into has been a far higher risk for me, and if I had gone along with any of it except basic rules of traffic I might have been dead at this point!
Hell, it would be a great thing even if roads were left to rot, then local communities would have to keep up their portions, everything would slow down & corporations would not have the same capacity to enslave everyone...

Did you read the post? No one is saying we don't need security, roads, education, and medical services. That is not the question. The question is do you want a monopoly state ruling over all of that.
Also, every service you mentioned is currently provided by private companies and when the state administers them they hire private companies to do the actual work.
You mention people paying attention to taxes collected. In the US it is taken out of your check before it even hits your hand so no, people don't pay attention to it as much as they pay attention to the money they pay for food. It has been said that if the masses had to pay all their taxes at once it would be result in a revolution.
I would also argue that people complain constantly about security (police), roads (potholes), education, and medical care. And they have few choices on these items.
But WHY do you think we need the state? You just said that without giving a reason.
