“There have never been so many historically wealthy people. Such a thing should only be for really excellent earners maybe the top 1 percent determined by gross income. They should support the other 99%, who should learn full time.”
What a load of silly drivel and fake history! Kollel is a relatively recent invention and balabatim have no halachic obligation whatsoever to support able-bodied men who choose it. Joseph and DaasYochid have every right to support it with all of their money but no right to tell anyone else how to allocate their charitable giving.
