Nobody is entitled to my money, nor am I financially responsible for others. I give to charities because I choose to, not because government overlords and anti-freedom people like you say that I have to.
It's my choice. In your socialistic utopia, I would not have that choice.

We are arguing semantics. I would say that if you asked people why they believe in charity many of them would say things like, "I believe other people should share in my excess." or "I feel the fortunate have an obligation to take care of the less fortunate." Yet that is quite different from what Jake has said in the past.
But there is no need to keep going around in circles with each of us defining the statement to fit our own opinion. I am not going to mention it again.
Unless someone else does.
