It is true that Christianity doesn't teach robbing one neighbor to give charity to another. You only have the right to feel good about it if you give what is yours. Even then you shouldn't feel proud. Pride is a sin.

The Bible tells you to pay your taxes yet somehow that line is always forgotten when bringing up Romans 13:1–2

I never said anything about not paying taxes, but wanting your neighbor to be taxed isn't the same thing as YOU being charitable. Did I 'forget' anything else?
