Mother Abandons Two Children on Conrner

A woman dropped her two children off on a street corner and then just drove away. They were unharmed, but totally abandoned. Now they will be in Foster Care. They might be better off, and they might not be. Should they be returned to a mother who abandons them to the street?

Volunteerism Drops as Governments Raise Social Spending

“An increase in governmental spending on social benefits by 1 percentage point of GDP decreases an individual's likelihood of volunteering for religious, sports, arts, or any other kind of organization by about 2 percentage points, say Franz Hackl, Martin Halla, and Gerald J. Pruckner of the University of Linz in Austria. Another factor that diminishes volunteerism is the population's confidence in its elected officials. Among the countries with the smallest proportions of adults doing unpaid work are Hungary, Japan, and Spain, at 16%; at the other end of the spectrum are Sweden, the Slovak Republic, and the U.S., with volunteer rates of 56%, 54%, and 50%, respectively.”

So the more government pitches in to pay, the less likely that people will volunteer?
