My mother used to run a charity, she was chair of it. She took no money from them whatsoever (not even a salary). Her charity helped kids with Tourettes' meet up and have fun days out. I hardly think the government could provide a similar service without first going through reams of paperwork to organise anything. The reason charity works is because it is run by people, not by bureaucracy.
The problem with your own socialist system is that you claim "oh we'll just tax the rich more and everything will be fine". The problem is, though that might work for the start, the other agenda of socialism is to "close the gap between the rich and the poor". If the rich are "poorer" so to speak, they get taxed less, and the money flow just stops. What then? Limiting people's money doesn't solve any problem, it makes the problem worse.
and no, I didn't appreciate anything we discussed months ago. You didn't convince me of socialism then, and you haven't now. The fact you would do away with charity because you see it as some kind of capitalist conspiracy strikes me as the very brink of insanity.
