Socialists / Statists believe that charity begins and ends with Government; if Government doesn’t do it, it’s not worth it nor is it charity. If you have examined, oh say Joe Biden’s tax return, you see how miserly he is (even as he and his wife are part of the 1%). We’ve blogged about many others (like John Kerry) who believe it is a checklist item only and only in context in winning political races (versus conservatives who give more of their time in addition to money directly to good causes). A cultural virtue where Conservatives refuse to outsource personal responsibility to Government.
