Notice the convenient excuses Scrooge had for not giving to a private charity. Nobody wants to give to private charities when they are already forced to thru their taxes. Imagine if, tomorrow, Bush were to call up the Salvation Army and ask if they wanted him to push for getting them federal funds. They'd probably tell him to "Get lost! Take a hike!" because the minute that the rich white fat cats hear that the Salvation Army gets federal money, they'll pull their funding. Government welfare creates more problems than it solves.
