There are more than a few libertarians who have taken your advice in one way or another. By their very nature, you don't hear much about them. Most are slowly backing out of the system while staying here. The rising home schooling movement is one example.
This reminds me of the debate among libertarians between "limited government" types, like Ayn Rand, and "no government types" like L. Neil Smith and the anarchists. The debate has yet to be settled. I tend towards the limited government side, although I can see where the "Probability Broach" society could be appealing. Unfortunately, my gut instinct tells me a truly anarchistic society would probably end up like Beirut in the bad old days.
Recommended reading: "The Nature of Government" by Ayn Rand, from "The Virtue of Selfishness."
