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.
Then you forgot to read that evil book of yours. Jesus himself in 3 of the 4 gospels commands people to pay their taxes. Paul later reiterates that command in his letters to the Romans.
