10. If a Nation is devoid of spiritual health and moral character, then government
and unprincipled men will fill the vacancy. Therefore, freedom prospers in moral
values and tyranny thrives in moral decay.
-David Lane
Thoughts
I think that is exactly what we see in happening in the West right now. Moral values got lost and as a concequence we got more and more government.
Think about it like that:
If you help, for example, the poor (moral values), then no state welfare is necessary. If you don't help them, then the state will try to do it.
