Yes. You. Do. Right now you're using a device that wouldn't exist without federal govt R&D, using electricity regulated by the government (unless you have your own power generation, transmission and storage), the internet (also thanks to govt R&D). And eating food you would have no possibility of obtaining without the government.

What makes you so special that the government needs to "look out for you" in particular? This is a society my friend. You live in it. The government does it's best to provide for all. You are certainly free to unplug and go into the wild, but again, you won't.
