> I don't have a car. Get rid of the roads.

So you don't have a car. Should you pay for other people's car maintenance? Should you pay for other people's gasoline and the gas tax? You do know that the gas tax pays for the roads right? If you don't have a car or drive, you don't pay to build or maintain the roads. Car owners pay for it via the gas tax.

I don't have a kid, but I have to pay for your kid? Is that the logic? How about people pay for their own kids, cars, homes, etc? Fair?

> I'm not old. Get rid of social security.

People pay for their own social security. You don't pay for my social security, I don't pay for yours.

Pretty sure no one pays for their own social security at this point.
