Getting people to pay for all of those things is what taxes are for. If it was completely voluntary how many people would actually pitch in to pay for all of these services?
What about the communities that are unable to afford these services?
It’s very easy to imagine that in your scenario that the very wealthy segment themselves off to pay for private services while everyone else suffers.

The Federal government taxes the steel mill and the tertiary industries that are able to thrive because that steel mill is generating revenue.
You directly benefit from countless federal programs and indirectly benefit from even more.
