All I'm saying i don't think the populace was ever given a choice about whether to participate (via payroll deduction) in those programs. I think your statement that those programs have broad support is an assumption that has never been put to the actual test. How many people would dis-enroll from having the the tax withheld if given the chance? I don't know the answer and unless someone has done some polling on the subject no one else does either.
