ANYONE who abuses the welfare system, does so on the backs of the rest of us who actually work to support our fasmilies. The only difference between the kollel and the minority system abuser, is that the Kollel boy is doing SOMETHING productive with his non-employed time. He isn’t out drinking, doing drugs, shooting pool, messing around with arayos. But the end result in financial terms, is the same. Both sides are living off the hard earnings of the rest of us. For someone who is opposed to working, because it would take him away from Torah study, it would seem to be very hypocritical to be perfectly happy to nonetheless take the FREE money that was earned by someone else’s sweat and effort who realized that earning a living is CRITICAL. If you believe something is intrinsically wrong, you should not allow yourself to benefit from someone else’s “wrongdoing.”
