Why the assumption that just because they don't pay taxes, they benefit from entitlements? Hypo surely isn't getting any entitlements but isn't paying taxes either.

I find a big irony in calling Social Security an "entitlement" when the amount you receive is directly correlated to how much you put in. If you didn't pay it, you don't get it. It isn't welfare. People paid into that, expecting to get money back out of it. And if it survives, then 100% of the people who pay in get something back (unless they die before they reach retirement age, in which case their spouse and/or children get some of it).
