I didn’t compare taking services to lying, cheating or stealing. I was referencing the point about “Well non Jews do it, so we can too.”

I am not holier than thou. I am trying to show people that living off government services is bad for society at large. What is bad for society at large is bad for the Jews.

And yes, I think its immoral to put yourself in position to need government services. You don’t have to agree, but that doesn’t make me holier than thou.

I wonder if you realize what a chillul hashem it is when non Jews discover that large percentages of Jews put themselves in situations to qualify for government services. I’ve had to defend this to non-Jews in the past. Its not pleasant.
