what happens when and if a majority of voters receive these "entitlements" and a minority of voters pay for them? It will be open season on confiscatory taxes. Some say we're there already.

This is why socialism doesn't ever really work. Those who create wealth ALWAYS must outnumber those who consume wealth. It is no wonder that so many socialist countries end up totalitarian.
