How is it any more protective of your individual rights and liberties to have government at the state level take care of all these other things? And why have a "united states" at all?
If you're so against Social Security, are you going to collect when you retire? Sure, the government has been extracting some money out of your paycheck to cover your later draw, but on a principled basis shouldn't you refuse the payback?
