That's why there are social services. The state benefits from the citizens, so in return, the citizens are entitled to benefit from the state. The state takes taxes from the citizens. Most citizens do this because they recognize that the state needs a contribution from all citizens to provide services for the citizens. If a citizen doesn't benefit from the state, then the citizen will possibly leave. Now ask yourself, what countries do most immigrants come from, and why are they comming to your state? The answer is invariably because the state will help them more than in their country of birth. This is good and bad of course. For one thing, you have the issue of illegal immigration etc. Refugees. Political asylum seekers. The list goes on. You wouldn't have that problem if 'the state' didn't offer social services. That'd be a plus, however, if a country is pretty much founded on immigration, then I wonder where that leaves you in the end? You can't have it both ways i don't think.
