“Charity is no part of the legislative duty of government,” James Madison wrote at the founding of the United States.
Absolutely correct.
Charity is not the job of government. The moment you force people to pay for it, it’s not charity.
When billions of the “charity” goes to grifters and thieves, as with USAID and Minnesota, it’s surely not charity.
Separate charity and state. Just like church and state.
