If nobody learns for more than a year, where will the future gedolim of klal yisroel come from? You have created a system of am haaratzim. But if everyone learns, where will the future parnassha of klal yisroel come from? I think the correct solution is not to discourage learning but to stop demonizing working for a parnassah, and setting up moire Torah support systems for those who work, similar to the tiferes bochurim or Tiferes Bnei Torah programs. The other problem with demonizing those who work is the problem with our chinuch ystem today- if you’re not the top you’re a bum. Once you’re a bum, why not be a real bum? Onc those who work are an accepted part of klal yisroel, it’s a lot easier to keep them in the fold.
