You wouldn’t even take social security benefits despite (I assume) having been forced to pay social security taxes?

Even Ayn Rand took social security benefits. Some people point to that as hypocrisy, but I feel if the government forced you to pay into a program it is moral to take back from it (though not more than you contributed), even if you morally object to the program overall.
