I'm not sure that I really care that much how it is done, as long as it is done honestly. If people want "panem et circunces", and a decision is made that all be entitled, then ALL should pay. That is called a tax. The entertainment itself is an entitlement. It is not shared risk, nor does it mean that someone who wants clowns on unicorns in their circus gets to demand it.
