mdd: have you considered the possibility that you are wrong?
Are you basic your assumption based on first hand knowledge of the Israelis in the chareidi cities?
And as we have said countless times – not only as computer programmers. There are lots of jobs out there (other than teaching) that make enough to almost support a family. Combined with the husuband’s cheder/yeshiva job, it very well could be just barely enough.
The frei are mad for 2 reasons:
1. They have been fed the same lies you have by the media all of their lives, so they don’t know the reality. I can’t tell you hoe few chareidim most chilonim have ever met, and when they meed you they say “you are not like the rest of them”
2. Because of the army. Another topic – let’s not get into it here please.
Just because the frei are mad, doesn’t mean that what they have been told and are saying is true. The perfect example was this add that datot is 3500 shekels……
