No, I don’t know who said it, but I’d bet it was a left-leaning politician. Notice how it puts all the blame for increasing external attempts at “control” by governments on (a sweeping generalization, btw) “individuals’ lack of internal control”?

@Sorceren
It is someone from the far right. They are saying that more government rules and regulations make us immoral.
