By being a part of US society (i.e. being a citizen), you're automatically expected to contribute monetarily to the well being of the citizens of the US (and your state/country/city) as a whole, whether you agree with it or not. It's why you have access to things like safe drinking water. Regulated quality food. Cars that don't explode as a standard. And so forth.
And it's the same for every country in this world.

Yes, but not every need and desire is socially supported. Obviously this is subjective and not a given, as it has never been done before in the US.
Society is just a tool to offer anywhere from 0 to Total wealth transfers. You are just saying that the society you want has more transfers and claiming it to be the only definition of the concept
