If I get private healthcare and private education, and private pensions, I don't want to pay social security, thanks!

Social security is a tax, you pay that for the privilege of living somewhere. It’s called social because humans are social animals.
I don't know the state of your welfare services, but I suggest you consider it a tax. A tax you pay for those who cannot pay for private healthcare, retirement, etc. Additionally, you are covered in case you get into a bad accident, or you are down on your fortune.
