Why re-ask these questions when I've already answered them? To recapitulate...
"Does this mean that all charities are terrible and should be eliminated? No. Does this mean that all private companies are perfect? No. But, on that margin, I'd like to see more problems solved by market activity and fewer by charity." [emphasis added]
I understand that's what you're saying. But how do you draw from that the conclusion that you'd "answer in the negative" the question "[s]hould we be encouraging charitable giving?"
