what can i say... this post seems to suggest otherwise.
you were all bashing some guy as being on the government tit when he said he collected unemployment
my point was to correct the assumption that unemployment is a tax payer funded social program like other entitlements but it is not. it is funded through state and federal taxes paid by employers and not the average employee or john q public. so it is a social program for all where the onus for payment is forced upon a very small percentage of the population.
so again i say whay don't you argue that ALL of us pony up 6.2% of our gross income to help out the poor unemployed. after all isn't that the fair thing to do in a socialist minded program?
i don't see how you are saying that i am defending it at all
for the record it's a rip off that employers get saddled with
it takes money away from me that i could use to provide better benefits to my employees and possibly use to hire more people
