“Somehow I feel like you’re not responding to me.”

I responded. You just don’t like the response. Taxes are mutar — I even gave you the Talmudic source — and in a democracy the recipients of tax revenues can vote themselves benefits.

That is in fact how the charedim in Eretz Yisrael get so many benefits — the charedi political parties would support whatever government provided those benefits, paid for by the rest of Israel’s citizens, regardless of whether the government was of the Left or of the Right. They certainly are not promoting the idea that laissez-faire is the Torah way!
