True many of our brothers and sisters are take part in the “social saftey net”.
However there are two serious questions that need to be addressed in how that should affect our vote.
1) Trump is personally a man of questionable morals, however he is making a point during his campaign of stating again and again that he will implement policies and make judicial selections that are more in line with our communities moral outlook then Hillary Clinton who is openly stating the opposite.
In that case from Torah perspective our we allowed to vote for a canidate that is openly trying to create a moral enivoronment that is the antithesis to Torah values for personal financial gain or are we required to stand up for the moral code of the Torah and be willing to pay more then lip service to the concept of Bitochon?
2) In regards to a pure economic outlook.
Many of our brothers and sisters are part of the social saftey net due to a lack of choice.
The cost of the basics for a frum family is astounding and is only going up.
In New Jersey, where many of us live, the cost of property taxes is enourmous, and much of it is driven by liberal court rulings that can be negated by a federal decision to allow some form of school vouchers.
The cost of private health insurance especially for families if prohibitve and it is going up, many families have no choice but to take government health insurance and rely on chesed orginaiztios when one really needs quality health care.
If Republican policies would be implemented just in those two areas, the
saving to individual families would reach the tens of thousands of dollars.
As such one could find jobs that could actually allow self-sufficiencey, we could support ourselves without needing to be millionaires.
However the Democrat policies in place in the Northeast have led to this situation where it is simply unfeasible for many people to try and work.
THe Democrats have made work unaffordable.
