You could say that about any tax founded expense?

For some things like courts and police it's required to stop violence and fraud; i.e. to maintain the rules of the game.
But, yes, I am in favor of a small, limited government.

Education is perhaps more important for preventing crime and violence than police and courts are. Remember, police and courts just deal with the crime; they don't prevent it like having a proper education and employment does.

Why wouldn't you see an elected government's policy as voluntary, ultimately?

Why would you see the decisions of the rich elite few allowed to be part of government as reflective of the population?

No, only some portion of the population (possibly not even the majority--see the U.S. 2016 election) decides for everybody including those who are against it.

It's not hypocritical if you compliment someone without paying them money.
