This is a great notion that we could privatize everything with better results. In theory private business always outperforms government but in actuality you are going to get some coverage gaps.
Example: Roads. You are a businessman, are you going to pay for the roads that connect my residence to your business so that I can make it to you? How about from other people's houses? Which group of businesses are going to band together to create bridges and highways? These are capital intensive projects that can easily argued were done far over an efficient cost but have benefited this country and vicariously the ADVANCEMENT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY.
Nobody can argue that the government efficiently uses our money, but to act like the benefits of your taxation don't far outweigh the costs is a bit of a stretch.
