Libertarians believe that taxation is theft. So in a libertarian oriented government, there would be no social programs unless they were voluntarily funded.

Of course it would make much more sense if you wanted to be charitable to donate directly to the individual who is in need. This way you don't run the risk of the money getting into the wrong hands, or someone that you might perceive to be purely lazy.

If you'd like to learn more about Libertarianism you can download a free audio book by Murray N. Rothbard here.
