The term has outlived its original use to become a part of the informal terminology used in the tax reform and income inequality debates in the United States . </P> <P> The term's meaning has split depending on political persuasion . For many conservatives, the term has become part of a political theory that the USA is developing an increasingly large' moocher' class who depend on government benefits paid for by taxes from richer or harder - working citizens, pay no taxes themselves and vote themselves higher benefits paid for from the taxes of others . This has led prominent conservative politicians such as Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann to propose that poorer citizens should have their taxes increased to make them more aware of the problems of excessive taxation and so - called big government . 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney commented that "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote liberal no matter what...believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you - name - it . That's an entitlement . The government should give it to them . And they will vote for this president no matter what...47% of Americans pay no income tax . So our message of low taxes doesn't connect...I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives ." Perry, announcing his presidential campaign, commented "Spreading the wealth punishes success...we're dismayed at the injustice that nearly half of all Americans don't even pay any income tax ." </P>
