Everyone should pay something, even if it is just a buck or two. If you have nearly 50% of the voters paying nothing at all, then who is going to reign in government spending and have fiscal responsibility? Certainly not the people who would benefit from the entitlement programs...
It is kind of like the reason you don't give your dog the whole 25 pound bag of food at once. The mutt is stupid enough to eat everything at one sitting, then barf it all out.
We seem to be heading toward this scenario...
