“joseph: you are wrong.”
“mariner, You are wrong”
That type of talk is not going to get us anywhere and is just childish.
Joseph, as has already been said, just because something is legal does not mean it is morally right. Unfortunately, I believe you are correct when you say that the kollel guys will “continue to accept every dollar in available food stamps.” We do need a certain percentage of Klal Yisrael to be engaged in full-time learning, but a) not every bochur out there should just jump on the bandwagon, and b) Goldman Sachs analysts are productive, just in a different way than kollel guys. Doubtless the latter is a much more fulfilling way to spend one’s time, but there simply aren’t enough resources for everyone to do it. Therefore, if one has the brains and the patience to be a Goldman Sachs analyst, by all means do that and don’t go to kollel- but if you are really dedicated to the cause, donate a good portion of that 600k to the kollel guys. Just as women receive merit and are rewarded for enabling and encouraging their husbands and sons to learn, so too are donors who provide the financial means for this learning to happen. So, spiritually, it’s a win-win all around.
