There’s something unseemly about a society where a lot of people have to rely on charity to survive and there is an uncritical charity-cheerleading track of the discourse flowing withgratitude, humility, etc. I appreciate those who do basics-giving, but it’s a job for taxes
Taxes and entitlements *are* responses that rhyme with causes. Entitlements are not a dirty word for me. I expect to rely a bit on social security and Medicare when I retire. I would like single-payer nationalized healthcare with an option to buy extra privately. Etc.

Individual charity is fine and has a place in the scheme of things for those who opt-in to specific webs of mutual community obligations, like joining a religion. It’s just neither the whole solution or one that is even relevant to everybody.
