Is it a good idea to have meta tags on every page?

It doesn't hurt, but nowadays it doesn't matter much.

There are enough places grabbing the meta description for display in their results page (or even in their directory) that I always tailor a description meta tag for each page.
Even though it may be devalued by some search engines for ranking purposes, a well written description tag can help to improve traffic - and traffic is a higher level goal than ranking.
