If we assume that the poor, oppressed or devastated like those in Puerto Rico are being taken care of from government funding and ignore their plight, are we being examples of the Christians Jesus calls us to be?

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or a sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2: 14-20

I know it's easy to figure that it's difficult enough for us to take care of our own bills, but Jesus doesn't want us turning our backs on those less fortunate, regardless of whether the government has already thrown a little money toward that situation. Jesus, through this passages, DOES show He want us to take care of those in need!
