Why the analogy doesn't work, babby version:

1. Someone donating $200 to the Red Cross is not the same as a government giving someone food stamps with which they can buy food.

2. Governments have responsibilities for caring for individuals under their care. Individuals don't have that responsibility, and we grant that to the government because we know that individuals won't.

3. I hope a poor people steals all your food after you've cut them off from food stamps.
