the "compulsion" you are vaguely referring to MUST come from the INSIDE of EACH INDIVIDUAL, NOT BY FORCE IMPOSED BY ANY GOVERNMENT. IF IT IS IMPOSED ON THE INDIVIDUAL FROM THE OUTSIDE, IT IS NOT CHARITY, IT IS COMPULSION BY FORCE. thereby, mutually exclusive. i personally give to charities on a very regular basis, but i am not "forced" to do so and can say NO if I choose to.
