You can say that about anything governments do: roads, police, schools, electrical grids, national defence... The fact is that you live in a society and benefit from so many things it provides. Additionally, society benefits from having you contribute to it. I rarely see people with a position like yours demonstrate their commitment to fierce independence by moving out to the wilderness and surviving off the land completely on their own. Why is that? I think it's because you take for granted all of the things society provides for you and generally attribute all of your successes to your own efforts. That is a mindset which can lead only to resentment and isolation, but maybe that's what you want?
