The benefits derived from government spending are less than the wealth taken. The government does not create wealth. So we all benefit from government taxation and spending to some degree the total degrees do not add up to a net benefit.

Makers and takers. The takers benefit the makers lose. Once your philosophy grabs hold the next stop is Venezuela. Because makers do not produce for the takers forever.

With social security everybody who works pays in and only those who pay in (with a few exceptions) can take out. Hell, that’s better than the military and highways and I’m sure many other government services. Many people pay zero federal tax and receive the benefits of those.
