The difference between taxes and fees is really just that the first is cheaper and goes to people who aren't incentivized to pocket the money while providing the worst service they can get away with. If you push a libertarian to explain their story in detail, there always comes a point where they introduce government and taxes but try to call it something else.

They don't have any idea how cost-effective taxes are, compared to paying private companies individually for every single shared resource. It's the same for healthcare, education, etc.: to pay the government for a decent nonprofit service is always better value.
