It’s not tzedokoh, it’s recouping a portion of our taxes. We don’t make the rules, but whatever they are at any given time we’re good at playing them to our advantage; we always have been, since Yaacov and Lovon, and there is no reason to be ashamed at it. The current rules are designed to encourage poverty, so on paper we’re “poor”; let them change the rules and we’ll change the way we organize our affairs.
