Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetzky (born 1891/2/28, died 1986/3/10) was asked if it is permitted to lie in order to receive benefits from a government program.
His answer was an emphatic: NO!!
Then the questioner said: But many Gentiles do it!
The Rabbi explained:
They did not stand at Mount Sinai when the Torah was revealed!

RRW, thank you for repeating my Torah quote on your blog!
===================================
Tanna DeBei Eliyahu Zuta, chapter 18, paragraph 1:
Rabbi Yochanan taught:
"I testify that any Torah Scholar, who studies with sincere motives and works to support himself, will be fortunate in this life and the afterlife.
He will be revered by: his wife, his children and Gentiles.
Angels will help him, and G*D will love him completely...”
