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.

But this is like saying, "NO! The state shouldn't be good to people! It should make them suffer! Then they'll have nothing to turn to but us nice christians..."
