If charity is supposed to be "voluntary"

[slsls]

did you donate your Trump tax cut right to charity, or did you empty your CD and give it to charity?
If not, let’s face it, if the government doesn’t force you to help people, you won’t help people.

You are deliberately asking a provocative question after joining just a few minutes ago. Pretty much what trolls do.

If someone isn’t a member of an organized religion, that’s very possibly true.

But if someone is a member of an organized religion, they’re far more likely to donate to charitable causes than a non-member of an organized religion.

Christianity, overall, is pretty darn generous. Catholic Charities USA served over 10 million people and spent over $4 billion on programming. How much of that $4B came from the government, versus its donors?

Islam is another big player in the schools/hospitals/social services charitable field. They don’t do it because the government compels them, either.
