Rabbiofberlin,

Let me quote some of your statements and tell you why I disagree with your approach.

“it would also mean that the avreichim give back to the klal what they received.”

“It perpetuates a lifestyle of not giving back to the tsibbur and it keeps idle a tremendous amount of potential in every sphere of life.”

“I know firsthand tremendous attorneys and accountants who are bnai torah and contribute much more to klal ysroel now than if they were kollel yungeleit.”

These statements, implying that those learning are taking, rather than giving, show that your worldview does not give the primacy to Torah that it deserves, despite all of your disclaimers.
