You can't be charitable with other people's money. As I have outlayed in this thread, if taxes were lower, fewer people would require charity, and more people would have enough money to be able to give to charity - sure, some won't, but I think most people have atleast one issue where they'd be willing to donate, especially if given a large enough disposable income.
At the end of the day, we all have a responsibility to give to charity, that is my view. However, that doesn't give me the right to steal your money and give that to charity, just because you won't if I don't.
