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.

Exactly, follow the rules and you keep your privilege.

So if you don't pay taxes that go towards roads and maintenance you don't have the right to drive on them?

Nobody is saying you don't have a right to use the roads; it is just not your right to drive on them regardless how much you pay.
