“And If people (not the frum olim) knew that there were people who refused to work, spent time studying all day and took government benefits for an indefinite period of time, Do you think the majority of Americans would be in favor of their tax money going to this?”
Do you really think law makers lack the ability to know whats going on? Stop feeling bad for the federal and state government. The system works the way it does, kollel families can choose to use it or not for their benefit so long as they are not breaking the law. There is no smell test. People are expected to feed their families if the law allows for it, its built in to the system.
Trump, a BILLIONAIRE, openly brags about taking advantage of the system legally for his benefit. But I dont see you complaining about him, only poor kollel families. If they are putting pressure and guilt on individuals for support thats one thing, but dont feel bad for the system. Take your gripes to the politicians and law makers not the poor kollel families.
