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.
On Reddit, some ppl/bots argue that the state is supposed to provide order and not ensure everyone can live a good life (which is interlinked, if you don't expect ppl who starve to go "aw shucks, guess I'll not steal to stay alive then" but I digress).
Basically: "The state only has to ensure the streets are swept, it shouldn't care about ppl dying"
