To all those debating chareidim not keeping halocho:
Joseph and nisht: There are Chareidi Rabbonim who (mis)read Shulchan Aruch into thinking that you can cheat on taxes. They are few (and getting fewer), but they certainly exist.
If my poisek tells me that opening bottles on Shabbos is an issur deoirayso, and others learn the sugyas and are mattir, these people are not less ‘chareidi’ in my eyes, even if according to me they are not in accordance with halocho. If a Chareidi rabbi believes something is muttar – even if he is mistaken – he is still Chareidi.
This is a far cry from breaking halocho because we are ‘with the times’.
