there existed a great animosity of the am haaretz to the perushim or chaveirim.
this stemmed frrom their great love for the torah and jealousy of the rabbis who actually studied and knew it. The Am Haaretz of the first century where greater than some of the observant of today. and they dont in no way compare with the reform or conservative movements of today. who not only do away with the mitzvot but dont even believe in the divinity of the torah .
Rambam said that we need to combine Torah and work.
if we won't work then there is no money and this may cause troubles like, our sons may become criminals and God will judge us for that and we will get punishment.
Am-Ha'aretz is a man who's too much connected to this materialize world and because to that fact, he is not putting an efort to study the Torah and this is makes him less and less observant.
Rabbi Akive used to be Am-Ha'aretz for 40 years. he used to say: "give me Talmid Ha'cham and i'll bite him like a donky" his friends asked him: "shouldn't you say "like a dog"?" he said: " dog bites only the flesh, but donky also break bones". eventually he became bigger then Moses.
