And when you say that giving help to the poor just makes them more lazy that also includes voluntary charity.
No, that doesn't exclude anything.
If I choose to give my money or time to a charity, that's my choice. Who is more compassionate, the guy who pays 10k per year in taxes because he's forced to, or the guy that pays 8k per year in taxes and gives 2k to charities voluntarily?
Your second sentence makes zero sense. Not every charitable donation is given to just the poor. I've donated time and money to various causes, like youth groups, senior centers and citizens, disabled veterans, parks, zoos, youth athletics, etc...
