Why? Is there something wrong with bacon?

And how will these "free" programs be funded?

I suppose we will have to legalize and tax drugs and prostitution.

Rich people would be required to fund them.

However, we would not legislate what "rich" was - it is just a nebulous term.

While I like most regional pronunciations, I detest the adding of letters that just don't exist in the word to begin with. Outside of that, cities and states should be pronounced the way the locals say it. Like Louisville (loo-uh-vul, or even Loo-ee-ville)... or differentiating certain towns, like Birmingham, England (Berm-ing-um) and Birmingham, Alabama, USA (Berm-ing-ham).

Does anyone ever call it the William-ette?

I've never heard it called that and since there is no second I in the name I don't know why anybody would.

I honestly thought that was what it was when I first saw the name. For some reason, my brain added the extra "i"

By making the people who don't use the bacon service (Vegetarians, me, Jews, squirrels) contribute to the bacon delivery system it will subsidize those who can't afford to participate in the bacon system.

This was covered in last nights debate with both parties in agreement. The remaining question was whether there would be a mandate with civil/criminal penalties if you refuse to pay for your bacon or if bacon would be made cheap enough that everybody would buy it regardless of immediate bacon need.
