By the way, why shouldn't the state or federal government be in the business of providing "charity?"

So....another democrat whom I assume dislikes that the Republicans stand on their pedestals and make morality judgements does the same? I'm shocked. So you are saying that you vote democrat because it is....well.....more moral. You make the judgement over and over that you dislike when Republicans make it.

Why shouldn't the government be in the business of providing charity? Well, the father of the Constitution that I quoted earlier, being Madison, seemed to think it was UnConstitutional. Apparently from your posting you think that constitutional scrutiny is a good thing. However, it is also apparent that it is only a good thing if you agree with the item that is put under such scrutiny.

As far as charitable work, I won't bother to list what I contribute to, and they are not primarily "megachurches", as you put it. As with my minimum wage example, the (so-called) charitable work of the government often does more harm than good.
