Nowhere. Fortunately, we live under a representative democracy, not anarchocapitalism.

Now show me how the government is stopping this scenario.

Forced Representative democracy.

Not to mention it's farcisical. As I've posted before from the faq-
[ QUOTE ]
9) But government works for the public good
Alternative AC faq
There are problems with this vulgar utilitarian view. What is the common good? (No one agrees.) If we somehow knew the common good, how do we implement it? (No one knows.) Even if we implemented a plan, how do we know it would have the desired results? (We don't, and coercively imposed social planning often has substantial perverse consequences.) There are also institutional objections to the myth. Why would the State act for the common good rather than the interests of the rulers. The rulers make the decisions, and have incentives like all men. Public choice theory is a more reliable preditor of political behavior than naive faith in Pollyanna pluralism.

12) But democracy is rule of the people.
This is a myth. Look at the people who make up government. Government is run by the rich. Rich people are by and large the ones running for office. Rich people by and large fund their campaigns. Heads of office appointed by elected officials are primarily friends of that politician. This is especially true of Presidential cabinet positions. Policy for elected politicians is largely geared towards what Special interest groups. Democractic government isn't rule of the people, it's rule of the elite and powerful.

Now how is it exactly that ACism will solve problems of road and transportation networks? Or public safety? Or national defense?

A) Read the faq.
B) Ask yourelf two questions
1) How is it done now?
2) Why can't it be done without a state, through volntary means?
