Nope. The context was specifically about people in the US that think that by voting to have their neighbors money be taken, and given to others, is not "compassion". If I come to your house and take half of your stuff under threat of force and give it to other people, am I being "compassionate"?
meanwhile, I would like to see ANY study or research that shows that the government has a greater ability to help the poor than private charities. The fact that the government can take our money by force, or print more, is not an indication of their ability to do good works with that money in any kind of efficient, or even fair manner. Please show me a place that tells you that the government is better at this. I would be fascinated to read it.
