Government funding is not charity. Charity is voluntary. Having a gun put against one's head to force compliance is hardly voluntary.
I also question the use of the word sacrifice. What does it really mean? A sacrifice is the giving up of something of value for something of lesser value. If what one gives is of lesser value to support a greater value, that is not a sacrifice - one is rationally supporting one's values. It is only common sense to act according to a hierarchy of values. The problem with government entitlements is that, for most people, they are forced to support strangers a priori their higher priorities: themselves and their families.
