You're not wrong, but I'm trying hard to place this comment. The commenter you responded to said nothing about philanthropy. In fact, some interpretations of 'live and let live' would explicitly bar philanthropy.

The OP mentioned his giving to his community on a voluntary basis. That sounded like an operative description of philanthropy so I used that term.
