abracadabra: You have real insolence to infer that you are right and everyone else is wrong. Even the great Chofetz Chaim, who lived as poor as a shul mouse, ran a grocery store.

Why can’t people like you work instead of living off everyone else (and whining about it!)?

The tanaim and amoraim mostly had jobs. Only now has it become not only acceptable, but preferable not to work. I love Torah, but one must combine it with supporting one’s family. Don’t you have any pride? Do you really think the Torah wants you to live off charity for your entire life?
