Voluntary Charity There's a trope I've run across a couple of times in conservative fora, that of voluntary charity, the idea that charitable giving should be a personal decision, not something forced by the state. To quote the Encyclopediat of Conservatism: Charity is voluntary and personal; state welfare is compulsory and bureaucratic. Conservatives argue the two differ in kind, not merely in scale. http://ooblick.com/2026/07/voluntary-charity/
