The ethics of Buckley’s view

1. Consider the ethics of the late William F. Buckley, Jr. on Welfare: “The permanent denizens of the welfare rolls…are moral criminals and should be treated as legal criminals too. If parents of a child born out of wedlock are unable or unwilling to care for the child, the parents should be jailed…For the second bastard, the parents should be sterilized…what we should never forget is that the cost of welfare is only secondarily financial. It breeds a growing underclass that saps the foundation of education, morals and patriotism, that assures and ever growing criminal cadre. Welfare attacks America.” *Critically evaluate the ethics of Buckley’s view.Show you knowledge of the various theories we have covered.
