I have found the opposite to be more true. That people who advocate for private charity tend exhibit more of the qualities you would ascribe to people who advocate for public charity.

Poverty can be solved easier than can any use of the general warfare to ensure our security and can be more cost effective when done by a public sector.
Those are your opinions, but with no supporting evidence. Poverty has been around since the dawn of civilization and it will always be around. Man is incapable of solving the problem of poverty. How many poverty stricken people have won lotteries only to end back up in poverty? How many great athletes who grew up in poverty made it big in the sports world to only retire in poverty? Poverty is a condition of the soul and only God can cure that.
