People can be good and charitable, and people can be greedy dicks. I wouldn't want to have the general well-being of our poor be left to how charitable a person is feeling.

Especially when most people who give to charity give it to churches who in turn make beautiful cathedrals and molest little boys.
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
