Individual rights as long as they pay for them, right?

How ever you want to twist it: as I said driving is a privilege; not something that is owed to you because you pay taxes. 

I'd disagree.

The feds (or state or county) take a portion of (mostly) private property to make roads. Your access to that is a right (provided you follow some rules just like accessing other public property). On top of that you pay for access to those roads in the form of state and federal gas taxes and (in most states) licensing and fees for yourself or your car, which go towards maintenance. In your son's case, he's whoever-is-buying-his-gas's agent as they're paying for that access by paying his gas (and possibly his DL).

Your SS isn't a privilege, it's not something the government allows you to have; it's something you've paid for. If your municipality exercises a library tax, it's not a privilege to get to use it, it's your right as someone that's paid the tax.
