Why not both? Pursue the social safety nets, but realize no government will do it just right so help out people directly with your time, talent and money.

And just because a government won’t do it right is no excuse to not try anyway.

I can see why the dude is confused, Jesus straight up said “give your money to the Romans” at some point. Stop giving mixed messages bro.

Ew, this is just an evangelical right wing talking point. Also who the fuck cares what “Jesus” said can we stop talking about it literally forever thanks
