Any rebuttal to libertarianism must address why a group of people called government has extra rights than all other organizations.

Shouldn’t anyone who yields a benefit to society have the right to take money by force from others?  The arguments of Rationality Rules are illogical since for no morally justified reason, he claims a group called ‘government’ can morally initiate violence against peaceful people.
