I would argue that that goes against the fundamental structure of society. You took all the products of society and use them for your sole benefit. You are free to do your own thing but don't expect to be able to turn to the group when things are hard.
I could see the perspective.

Inevitably everyone depends on someone at some point. I think the real focus is getting to the point where you can help the people that matter to you and not relying on people that don't. I just think people place too much faith in individuals like politicians to solve their problems. (not referring to you). Just kinda jawing in a more general sense.
