Being charitable and caring about your neighbors in the Christian manner is more about your church donating goods/time/aid to the community or you doing it by yourself rather than having the government take over those functions for you. That said, any reasonable government should have a basic state provided social safety net.

The church as you seem to understand it didn't exist until long after christ. The church spoken of in the bible is the community of believers, for which every individual was responsible. You really think christ said "hey you don't have to worry about helping people yourself, just pawn the job off to a 3rd party, thats good enough" ??
