Unfortunately, he may be right about this.

"Unfortunately, there is no way out of our immoral quagmire. The reason is
that now that the U.S. Congress has established the principle that one
American has a right to live at the expense of another American, it no
longer pays to be moral. People who choose to be moral and refuse
congressional handouts will find themselves losers. They'll be paying higher
and higher taxes to support increasing numbers of those paying lower and
lower taxes. As it stands now, close to 50 percent of income earners have no
federal income tax liability and as such, what do they care about rising
income taxes? In other words, once legalized theft begins, it becomes too
costly to remain moral and self-sufficient. You might as well join in the
looting, including the current looting in the name of stimulating the
economy. "
