The welfare state has for all intents and purposes driven benevolence from the field.

Some yet remains but not nearly as much as there would be if the government would refrain from demanding that we care for others whether we wish to or not, and perhaps in a manner we do not approve of.

Voluntary aid to others costs double these days since you are taxed heavily to subsidize them, and then must dig deeper into your pocket to provide any aid voluntarily.  

It is the same with schooling. If you wish to send your child to a private school, or homeschool them, you must still pay taxes to support schools which your child will never attend.

This is most certainly unfair and immoral.
