What seperates government from private business is government is an institution that reserves the power to use force on innocent persons. Only government can demand that you obey its decrees or is will send people with guns and chains to drag you off to prison or court. No other institution may do this. This is called political power, and its the most dangerous thing known to man. It currupts the souls of all who use it and makes government nothing more than pure evil. Of course, the evil is necessary on an infinitisimal scale to prevent threats to our liberty under anarchy, by securing the natural rights God endowed us with, rights to life, liberty, and property. But political power is such an evil that it must constantly be waged war against lest it expand and devour us all. Your definition of government is faulty and has never held true throughout history.
