Morality is what a person ought to do, how a person ought to operate.

Can you provide me a complete list of everything I must and must not due or am I going to have to figure this out myself. If I have to figure it out, it will subject to my judgement. Since, my judgement is so poor that I've actually read folks like the evil Dr. Szasz, obviously we'll need someone else to make decisions for me. Gee, I hope they have my best interests in mind.

It means helping others when they need you,

What if they have brought suffering on themselves?

working hard when you would rather be lazy,

What if I am not allowed to enjoy the fruits of my own labor?

doing your duty even if it is a difficult one,

Who defines my duties?

and providing for yourself and your family, rather than looking to others.

Housing is too expensive to form a family. Marriage puts a husband in danger of losing his home, salary, children and 2nd Amendment rights.

The same was true in Rome in later days.

Oh I see. You lost the original argument so now you turn to moral relativism. Sorry, but there is such a thing as right and wrong, and you can only have a small state if people in general do what is right.
