Haha, good one.

Because young people don't use roads or schools or tax-subsidized public transportation, right?
You even say yourself later that young people get things from others. The thing about taxes is that they are just a pooling of money to pay for things most people benefit from. Even welfare payments benefit everyone by lowering criminality. Ever been to a country without a proper welfare system where the poor will do whatever it takes to get your money? I wouldn't call it a preferable aspect of such a society. If social security is too large, then maybe it's because you're bleeding out too large a proportion of your citizens with your current economic rules.
Fix the problem, not the symptoms.
