So you're actually just saying that the government has to tax to exist, and using the word "monopoly" wrong. I actually don't know of a government that has a money monopoly. That would mean making a government-controlled currency the exclusive legal currency in the country. If you don't agree with that definition of the word "monopoly," that's fine, but I don't want to discuss it. It's a word that has a valid meaning but is most commonly used in a way that is self-contradicting.
