Well I can't see giving up my lively hood to the point of not having a roof over my head and food in my stomach and bills being paid so that I can survive in light and warm/coolness for health reasons and so on. I can't see that. No one is going to do that for me. And how can it be right to take from someone else who is doing what you are not suppose to be doing? That doesn't seem like right livelihood.
You are missing the whole point. When you are ordained the lay people are very happy to take care of the monks and nuns. The monks and nuns provide teachings, and spiritual guidance to them, and to the world.
