The ECONOMY is a free-enterprise system the last time I checked.
LEGISLATION that is anti-marriage, anti-baby, anti-child, anti-abstinence, anti-life (bio-ethics, abortion, euthenasia, etc..) have a HUGE impact on morality, and that legislation HAS a gigantic effect on morality.
Legislation and law enforcement that affirms homosexuality, oppresses the free exercise of religion, treats violent criminals and drug traffickers as 'patients', treats people shacking up as 'common law' couples, pays teenage girls to have children out of wedlock, rewards laziness, penalizes the working poor, cannot prosecute child pornographers, and affirms rapacious abuses of capitalism is having a HUGE effect on the nation's morality.
And YOU may be uncomfortable with the source of morality encoded in legislation, but historically there IS a civil 'religion' based on the Judeo-Christian Tradition that the founding fathers endorsed, supported, lauded, and in many cases codified.
Go to the US Supreme Court and look on the wall and see Who's morality is endorsed. Check out the Lincoln Memorial while you are at it. Just for grins, look at an US Currency and see Who it we AS A NATION trust.
