Nope.
There is a BIG difference between the personally-directed mandate of charity prescribed by Christ and some humungous Gummint program.
We happen to agree on almost all the practical matters at hand. I think Big Gummint is a failure in many (but not all) regards.
To a great extent, BTW, Big Gummint has damn near precluded individuals from exercising personal charity--the tax and regs burden has eaten most discretionary dollars.
Of course, one could live (and I include myself here) with less possessions. It's an option which I (and a lot of others) should consider.
I've always striven to be self employed and being single I never had to trade my dreams for security. I took risks and more than once I've suffered major loss. Once I lost everything I had and I mean everything except a beat up old car and a few clothes. Totally wiped out, furniture, everything. It is a difficult position to be in but it is very educational. I used to own a lot of very nice things - valuable antiques, historic artifacts and various cool treasures. Disposing of the stuff was like cutting off little bits of your fingers without anesthetic. Did it more than once. As much as it hurt they were good experiences. I'm not materialistic anymore. The grip has been broken. I don't knock consumer consumption though - I make money off of it but for myself owning lots of stuff has lost its meaning. I see more important needs which could be met with my money - and I don't need government to point them out either (and never did). I just see more now than I did before.
