It is preferable to have a separation of State and virtue. The Government should not be doing things which are seen as virtuous, like charity. The Government should only do things which give rise to freedom, such as protecting and recognising property rights and defending the territory with as little coercion as possible. There should be no taxation for the purpose of doing good, only possibly to allow further freedom so that the disadvantaged might be helped.
It is not good that the Government seeks to do good, it should not do so. It should only allow people to get on with their lives, which will end up in the best outcome. The best outcome is that the State does little and lets people sort their own lives out, free of impediment.
