In the article "Freedom Is Essential For True Morality", the author writes - "There is no virtue in being temperate when you are being forced not to indulge. There is no virtue in being charitable when someone is forcing you to give up what is yours. Virtue can be guided by cultural traditions and social institutions, but it cannot be coerced.

Instead, it has caused more dependency on government assistance, less upward mobility, more poor single-parent families, and loss of freedom for both taxpayers and recipients.
