ultra-Orthodox don't work and live well

I have read that the ultra-Orthodox are exempt from military service, and draw government stipends for sitting around reading Torah all day. No wonder the secular Jews are pissed; I'd be too. Everyone should share the burden of the draft, and if someone wants to be a Talmudic scholar, he needs to get a rich father-in-law or a private foundation to support him.

This is what the anti-religious, leftist secular media trumpets 24/7. It is not true, nor is it a valid excuse for nazism.
