Really saddening to see the responses on DDF to a proposal that will save the American tax payer almost nothing, and will cost our community so much.
The normal knee jerk reaction of people to a proposal that hits their community 100x more than other communites, is to be against it. Thank G-d that's how I was raised.
And that's how the ehrliche chassideshe communities, and yeshivish bnei torah react, (even the rich ones, even the balei batim).
Unfortunately there are so many bitter yidden out there, who have no empathy for the truly poor large families. Who only see negatives in the community. Who think that everyone struggling is lazy.
I'm extremely disappointed.
This thread is a sad commentary on the state of a big portion of the frum community today.
