Anyone else? I would expect based on the number of people that worked, a list of at least 100 who learned in kollel.

1) Are you sure about all those?
2) I still don't see 100 or so names. So am I correct in presuming that 99% had jobs?

Yes.
I'm not quite sure it's that high, but clearly a significant portion had jobs as did a significant portion study torah full time. Someone would have to do a comprehensive study that could take months.

How come the Chazal didn't think they were the kohanim that should be supported by the rest of the klal?

Well for starters the "rest of the klal" wasn't overly fond of talmedi chachamim at that period in time......How come the Chazal didn't think they were the kohanim that should be supported by the rest of the klal?

the fact that the gemara is replete with vivid descriptions of the hatred amei ha'aretz bore towrds talmidei chachomim, such as rabbi akiva's assertion that when he was an am ha'aretz, he wanted to bite talmidei chachamim "like a donkey", because a donkey's bite breaks the bones.What makes you say that?
"Spiritual wants and instincts are as various in the human family as are physical appetites, complexions, and features, and a man is only at his best, morally, when he is equipped with the religious garment whose color and shape and size most nicely accommodate themselves to the spiritual complexion, angularities, and stature of the individual who wears it."
"The despotism of heaven is the one absolutely perfect government. An earthly despotism would be the absolutely perfect earthly government, if the conditions were the same; namely, the despot the perfectest individual of the human race, and his lease of life perpetual. But as a perishable perfect man must die, and leave his despotism in the hands of an imperfect successor, an earthly despotism is not merely a bad form of government, it is the worst form that is possible."
-Mark Twain

People that think that R' Akiva started out as some kind of a freier are sorely mistaken.After he did Tschuvah, Rebbe Akiva...

Based on what?People that think that R' Akiva started out as some kind of a freier are sorely mistaken.
The world has too many stupid people who are full of confidence, and smart people who are full of self-doubt.

And now the rest of the klal loves talmedi chachamim? Daily news from Israel says otherwise.

I don't think so. There are some talmidei chachamim in Israel, but they are not the people in those articles......
