Can charitable giving replace welfare programs?

Oh god -blam!- no. Edit: I need to learn to reread source material. Yes. There's likely massive inefficiencies in the welfare program, that should be worked out, that are bloating the costs. I don't think that 90% of the money going into welfare is being wasted. Yes, if people had more disposable income they might donate more. This is also ignoring human nature of the average person to be a greedy, selfish, self-centered, -blam!- twit who only cares about shit in front of him. It's also ridiculous to think that people will start that much money. And then, finally, we have the problem of people donating too much in one area and not donating enough in another. People would likely donate heavily to their churches who will help local problems, but not those over in the inner city who need it more and have more people who need help.
