"Because there is an idea going around that nobody should ever get anything without paying for it."
Everything has to be paid for, or nothing at all can be paid for. If I work 40 hours a week and you do nothing, should I get anything as a reward for working? Or what if it was the other way around - you worked for 40 hours a week and I did nothing - should I have the same as you even though I have made no effort at all?
"To each according to their needs, from each according to their abilities" sounds very good in theory but it relies on people behaving in an 'honourable' way.
