It's more complicated than that. Charity is seen as something your community and private institutions are supposed to provide out of the goodness of their heart, not something the government should 'force' onto people. There is not the same shame in getting help from your church, your neighbors or some other similar group, but being reliant on the government is by many seen as a failing.
