No, not in this case it does not equal ownership because we are doing it deliberately to sabotage the government. They do not own us.
What we are doing is passive resistance. We are not just refusing to support, we are costing the government money. If you want bring down the welfare state you can either start shooting or you undermine it by beating it at its own game
Except it is not the Government’s money. It is the people’s money the government stole from the people. Collecting SS would be the only marginal exception because it is an insurance plan you also paid into. And SS would be solvent if they had not tapped it for other welfare free ride programs.
