government's job is to protect us, not take care of us.

The only reason for the existence of the government is to protect the powerful. This is why we should keep the government as small and weak as possible.

And this is why charity comes about almost exclusively through private action. The government only helps people by accident, and when it does it always exacts an obligation or duty, which the true giver of charity would never do.
