My one roommate does not contribute at all, what can I do about this?

I have two roommates right now who are my brothers. We all live together and we agreed that everything would be split amongst us. My one brother is excellent with finances. My other one does not want to contribute at all.

I have gone to the grocery store and bought paper products the last 4 times. Not to mention I pay for all lunches and dinners. He says he does not need to contribute even though he uses all of our products. We got into 2 huge blow up fights yesterday. 

What can I do about this?

    You can stop paying for more than your share. You can! You even have an example right in front of you of how to refuse to pay for something. 

    Edit: See? EVEN PEARL, the nicest and most mild mannered person on Yahoo Answers, suggested you kick out your own brother. That's how wrong you are if you let him keep taking advantage of you. Even Pearl would not put up with this.

    Find new roommates. Your brother believes you are/someone is supposed to support him and him just sit back and take. It'll stop when you stop.
