I agree with SJS. If a person is coming to me and expecting me to support him (which, even if I don’t give to his kollel, I am doing by paying my taxes), I have a say in it.

My brother in Lakewood tells me how they have people there who teach you how to get the most out of the government. HUD, food stamps, WIC, etc. They mooch the system for all it has. That was never done before, not in the history of klal Yisrael. There is supposed to be a Yissachar-Zevulun partnership. Just remember, Yissachar was only one of the shevatim, not half. Only those who will become the new gedolim should be sitting and learning full-time for the rest of their lives, or even making the attempt to. Everyone else should be supporting themselves, and learning whenever they can. Zevulun is supposed to work extra to be able to support Yissachar as well.
