Kasz,
At most, its an argument of means, liberals for taxes and conservative for charity. I would like to point out, however, that donations to charity are tax deductable, so they aren't an accurate measure of 'caring' (just as having to pay taxes isn't an accurate measure of caring) and that government spending on charitable work does more good than private charity. A government providing public healthcare does a lot more than any private healthcare charity could ever hope to accomplish.
