Taxes in reality are less effective in helping the poor because they have to create a government organization to distribute the "charity" to people and are paying government employees, taking away from the tax money dedicated to that issue. The government cannot effectively share compassion when it is the employees job to provide certain services. In effect, government programs try to relieve poverty and in many instances create more poverty. There is "incentive" for women to have more children because they will receive more welfare. I know that probably sounds ugly but the facts speak for themselves. After having interaction with government employees who deal with these women on a daily basis, you can't distort those facts.
The reality is that charity comes from the heart of individuals who make choices to serve other individuals. Until we stop seeing "the poor" as groups, we will not care about them individually. The effectiveness of charity is not answered by how much money is given out, it is answered by how has the individual and his or her circumstances changed. It is easier to give a person money or materials than to teach, train, and educate them. The goal of poverty relief should not be creating more dependence, it should be to give the person more freedom. Poverty is a type of slavery, meaning that it restricts the freedom or choices of a person.
