ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!!!
I can't imagine that you *really* took that what I said.
(I hope not for your sake :-) ).
I'd be happy to discuss the above famous maxim but I meant almost the
opposite.
Approx "From each according to their otherwise freeloading, to each
according to their reponsible contributions to the cost of other people's
freeloading".

To use a prior example - people who don't take toilet rolls from public
toilets and burn them to heat their homes will be given a rebate on their
taxes, or some such.

I meant, presumably "the State" has come to the conclusion that the real
cost of various individual conveniences is being supported by others and
theis is an attempt to charge thse who have been freeloading some of the
true cost. I said "PERCEIVED" because there is always (as recent discussions
here show) large debate about whether any individual freedom costs others.
