Representation without Taxation or Public Service?

There seems to be much concern about excessive taxation and complaints about the growth of government.
This has not happened overnight and it may take a long time to slow the growth of government.
Part of the problem with the American (and other countries as well) arrangement is that people are entitled to rights and privileges such as voting without ever having contributed in any way to the country.
It would not be difficult or absurd to require some form of public contribution before a person could claim any rights. 
This will not happen soon in the US because there are too many people who wish to take without ever giving.
