A person with an ethical system that involves a sense of duty, and not just "things are fine if I leave everyone alone" are more likely to end up doing things like volunteering.

Sure. But nationalized welfarism erodes a sense of duty by abdicating it to "other people", just as the nationalization of the family in western nations has resulted in the collapse of the actual family.

Where does one derive any sense of duty from a negative rights based ethics system?  Duty has nothing to do with a rights-based system.
