No, that is not the case. See ‘Donating Appreciated Assets’ or the Powerball thread, for example.
I could possibly see finding it by divining to do a search on the former. But the latter? Who would ever think to do a search for Charitable Giving by searching for "Powerball"?

Not I. I simply searched for the word ‘charity’ and tons of stuff came up, including those two threads.

Mountaineer, in the days of the Caesars did state revenues fund charitable institutions?

As far as I know, it all went for public works, roads, armies, and (of course) Caesar's palace and lifestyle. They didn't have anything like food stamps, Medicaid, HUD, etc. The fact that big chunks of government budgets are now used to fund charitable endeavors makes that ancient analogy just a wee bit obsolete.

The Romans did indeed have a system of public welfare.

Yet this practice also existed at the same time: Roman Exposure of Infants

Yeah, they didn't have surgical abortions available, like we do now. So they had welfare and on-demand abortions back then just like we do now.

They were not on-demand abortions. That were abandoning the already born to die.

Is that a distinction without a difference?

In our present day it is. If the baby is still inside the woman, it is considered an abortion. Once it emerges it is considered either murder or infanticide.
