If the money to pay for it is extracted from the taxpayer then it’s not voluntary charity and is therefore decidedly un-Christian.
Did you miss where I said citizens should vote on how the tax dollars for aid are spent? That spending should be overseen by the voters? That it should be used as a last resort in true emergency situations? That the goal should be to move people off of aid?
Private help should be the first resort and is the best use of resources. The reality is that private charity can not do it all. So yes I do believe there is a place for local communities to provide the aid they choose to provide as decided by the voters when private charities are stretched to their limits.
