Almost everybody wants to help those who truly and deservedly need help. How we do it is replete with massive implications. At the very least in this ongoing debate, let’s not make the mistake of arguing that to use force, plunder, and dependency is somehow “the Christian thing to do.”

How could charity possibly be confused the government theft and redistribution? In one, you give according to your conscience to those whom you believe are in the greatest need. In the other, the government forcibly takes resources from one group and redistributes them to another by whatever criteria it chooses. Those who confuse the charity Jesus taught with socialism are being willfully ignorant. They don't bother to understand Jesus, socialism or both.
