In any case, what should be clear by now is that most if not all of the moral degeneration and cultural rot — the signs of decivilization — all around us are the inescapable and unavoidable results of the welfare state and its core institutions.

Welfare-statism breeds moral and cultural rot and degeneration. Thus, if one is indeed concerned about America's moral decay and wants to restore normalcy to society and culture, one must oppose all aspects of the moderm social-welfare state.

The current state of moral degeneration, social disintegration and cultural rot is precisely the result of too much — and above all erroneous and misconceived — tolerance.
