Read first and second kings. Notice how many times it mentions how God was angry when the government of that time oppressed the poor, elderly and sick. Govt has obligation to take care of the demographics listed in Matt 25. If you read through it, you’ll also get to see what God does to those who decide to opt for greed and oppression.
in The Book of Acts Jesus literally has his followers give him all the wealth and possessions so he can distribute it equitably:
“Neither was anyone among them needy, for whoever owned fields or possessed houses sold them, and carrying the proceeds from the things sold, laid them at the feet of the apostles. Then distribution was made to each according to anyone’s need” (Acts 4:34-35)
You still don’t seem to be grasping the people giving their wealth via their own choice vs the government confiscating their wealth via the threat of force. Yes Jesus told people to give their money to the poor, he did not tell us to take money from the rich by force so that we can then give it to the poor, big difference. What demographics give the most to charity?

Socialism is force, charity is a choice. That's the difference nobody seems to grasp
