I just gave you the summary.Yes, I did miss that. Please post a copy.Did you miss the memo regarding capitalism's laziness regarding full employment of resources; we call it a natural rate of inefficiency just to "harass the right".Yes, that is what the laws and the concept of employment at the will of either party, means.Ok, my understanding of that is that you are in favor of people choosing to receive compensation equal to the current poverty level in lieu of working regardless of whether they lost their jobs or voluntarily quit. Is that correct? If not, rephrase please.The point is about unemployment compensation that clears our poverty guidelines and that is available on an at-will basis.That model would create a strong disincentive to work and would provide a drain on the economy. Currently, let's say a family of 4 has one earner, who earns $60,000/year and can reasonably support his/her family on that. His/her spouse would be able, under your rules, to just collect between $11,770 and $20,090 just because s/he chooses not to work. With around 40 million non-working spouses, that's a lot of money.
