Miles here's the deal, you say "Charity can't solve all of society's ills" however you are of the belief that government CAN? Why because it is backed by force of law? Has government made things better or worse for society? If you look at what the welfare state alone has done to African-American families then I would argue that government has done more harm than good, whatever intentions LBJ et al had for welfare programs their system has made things much worse for a lot of people it is so bad it has demolished the very institution of family life among African-Americans which has lead to more crime, more prison, more people on the dole, more babies having babies, and an entitlement mentality that has grown out of control.

I'm of the opinion that the more government tries to do the worse things get
