The social needs of society are met without government. Charity exists without government.
Charity exists when you love your neighbors as much as you love yourself. Do not covet your neighbor’s wealth. Government programs are paid by the force, fear and violence to extract funds from your neighbor. Learn how to spot the difference between love and violence.
You have no right to live more comfortably at the expense of your neighbor.
A review of historical laws relating to charity states:
“The relief of aged, impotent and poor people; the maintenance of sick and maimed soldiers and mariners, schools of learning, free schools and scholars in universities; the repair of bridges, ports, havens, causeways, churches, sea-banks and highways; the education and preferment of orphans; the relief, stock or maintenance of houses of correction; the marriages of poor maids, the supportation, aid and help of young tradesmen, handicraftsmen and persons decayed; the relief of redemption of prisoners or captives; and the aid or ease of any poor inhabitants concerning payment of fifteens, setting out of soldiers and other taxes.”
