It's not surprising therefore that almost every human culture and religion places great moral value on honest, peaceful cooperation and exchange while condemning violence and fraud. This brings us to the role that government plays in organizing cooperation. The sole purpose of government is to marshal force in order to achieve socially desirable ends. Government depends on force to achieve everything that government does. No matter what social goal a government wishes to achieve, the only reason why the government takes on the task is because the government leaders believe that force is required in order to insure that every individual citizen does his or her assigned share.
Governments also can and do use fraud to avoid using the violence of force.
Politicians, bureaucrats, and their supporters churn out propaganda trying to convince the citizens that paying taxes, obeying business regulations, and performing civic duties will produce greater personal benefit than the personal cost. However, anyone who doesn't believe the propaganda and who resists government orders will be violently subdued and possibly killed. Any time a government takes on the task of providing any good or any service, the government removes the requirement that the citizen bargain for the good or cooperate with others to achieve the desired good. If the government guarantees that we will have food, education, a job, and health care, then we don't have to bargain with anyone for those good and services. We expect the government will force someone else to provide those promised things for us.
