Kli Yakar on giving tzedaka to freeloaders

I saw this Dvar Torah several months ago, but I think this is as good a time as any to make this more public knowledge, being that it is a very relevant topic.

The Kli Yakar on parshas Mishpatim, commenting on the mitzva of helping someone unload his donkey buckling under its load, states the following:

"עמו" - ומכאן תשובה לקצת עניים בני עמנו המטילים עצמם על הצבור ואינם רוצים לעשות בשום מלאכה שבה יכולים להביא שבר רעבון ביתם, וקוראים תגר אם אין נותנים להם די מחסורם. דבר זה לא ציוה ה' כי אם 'עזב תעזב עמו' 'הקם תקים עמו' (דברים כ"ב), כי העני יעשה כל אשר ימצא בכוחו לעשות ואם בכל זאת לא תשיג ידו, אז חייב כל איש מישראל לסעדו ולחזקו וליתן לו די מחסורו אשר יחסר לו ו'עזב תעזב' אפילו מאה פעמים".

My translation:

"With him" - hence an answer to some impoverished people of our Nation, who cast themselves on the community, do not want to do any work to sustain their households, and raise a stink if people don't give them enough to meet their needs.  This is not what Hashem commanded; rather "you shall surely help with him", which means that the poor man must do everything in his power [to earn a living], and if he nonetheless does not manage, then every Jew is obligated to help and strengthen him and cover his shortfall, helping him even 100 times.


What else is there to say?
