It's called a positive feedback loop. And asking people who contribute fuck all who's money should be spent on services they'll personally benefit from falls into exactly that category. Look at the news source of your choice, it's wall to wall "need more money over here" and never the slightest hint of where that money comes from, or if that's where it would be best spent to effect a sustainable return.
When you find the arse coming around a bit much mid corner as the result being a bit heavy handed then giving it a bit more results in the opportunity for a valuable lesson. Which works for most individuals, they learn. As a society, though we never seem to learn what happens if you ignore the effort/return thing by allowing greedy socialist concepts to influence policy. There's been lots of crashes caused by socialism, usually well after it's obvious it's losing the race, but a then a few years later some fuckwit's at it again: Oh look, he's got far more than me, that's not fair, i reckon we should share that out!
