Since only about 45% (+or -) pay any income taxes at all in this country, I think there are a lot of people who do in fact believe that the Govt. gives away "free" things. As this number continues to rise there will be less and less opposition to increased Govt. spending, and less opposition to increased taxes on the ones left paying taxes. The "rich" already pay more than their fair share. Where is it going to come from? The Govt. is notorious for underestimating how much their pet programs will cost.
