“…and that if you don’t want to take care of the widow and orphan, no one can make you.”

Well, don’t you agree with that? The legal system (I believe in most of the civilized world) does not penalize Individual X for failure to do Y…(crimes are based on what you do, not on what you don’t do). so if a homeless beggar comes to your door asking for a hand-out, and you slam the door in his face — the beggar can’t go and call the police and file a complaint. And, in most nations (of the Western world) you’re not obligated to perform charitable works or give to a charity. You’re free to be a stingy bastard if you wish to be.
