Charity is an unknown concept under socialism.

The individual attitude becomes: “I gave at the office.”

That is absolutely true. And when God told us in Leviticus, and Jesus repeated in the Gospels, to 'Love thy neighbor as thyself' - we have collectively gotten callused because we have this 20 ton leach sucking 50%+ of our paycheck for taxes (Fed, State, Social Security, Sales, Fees, etc...) - and we abdicate this responsibility/love to 'the leach'...
Even so, when compared to the rest of the World, America fights this 'not my job' disease and does open their pockets for many causes. Not as much as we should, but more than most...
