I'm a big believer in the theory that those with no skin in the game do not value what they get in return (for "free"). We'd see a decline in use of government services if those using them saw a direct cost impact to their wallets/paychecks.
Abolishing Social Security and Medicare would put more money in every working persons pockets...
