Congress does not have as a duty, according to their constitutional assignments, the job to operate a welfare system or be in the business of charity work. They have no right to take my money and give it to someone else. If I reach in my pocket and give the money to someone else, it's charity. But when someone else reaches in my pocket and gives the money to another someone else, it's theft.
