Wow.
Receiving SS does not automatically equate to dependence on government. It simply means you've paid into it (with no option not to) and would be an idiot to turn it down.
Receiving a military pension and/vet benefits does not automatically equate to dependence on government. It means you've served your country and rightfully receive something in return.
And if you want the water to be clean, the air to be breathable, the roads to be repaired, and police and fire services to be available, that can almost all be done without government. (I think law enforcement needs to be a government function.)
