Chester McAteer

Spare us from society's do-gooders, while good intentions are indeed good they rarely translate into policies that actually benefit our society. When we are allowed to act in our own self-interest the results are that society eventually benefits from our actions; in our striving to help ourselves, others are helped as a consequence. In the striving to gain wealth, others are likewise made richer through our contributions.

Tim adds:

Charity is necessary in a private system. In a system where government runs charity nobody sees a reason to giver - and they oppose efforts to be charitable because it just winds up costing them more. I once wrote about the cruelty of Caesar's charity. God didn't tell Caesar to be charitable, he told YOU to do it. Anything else is simply robbing one person to buy another.https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/05/the_cruelty_of_caesars_charity.html
