We are not slaves to our jobs because we can choose to leave them to work for another.
Requiring ‘community service’ to receive unemployment benefits is indentured servitude. We don’t want Zero to raise his army do we?
I’ve been unemployed since December of 2008. However I started my own business and I now tutor students.
Does a bear.......
Yes. Case in point: My ex has turned down multiple job offers because she gets more from unemployment after taxes.
Pop quiz, who said this?
“A large proportion of these unemployed and their dependents have been forced on the relief rolls. The burden on the Federal Government has grown with great rapidity. We have here a human as well as an economic problem. When humane considerations are concerned, Americans give them precedence. The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fibre. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. It is inimical to the dictates of sound policy. It is in violation of the traditions of America. Work must be found for able-bodied but destitute workers.
The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief.”
That was that lying sack FDR, wasn’t it?
Yep, it was proof that even he knew what the result of the New Deal was going to be.
I’m guessing President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The only people I know who received unemployment chose not to look for work until their benefits ran out.
When I was young and had no responsibilities, I was laid off from my first big job. I got my next job the exact same day I got my last unemployment check. It would have been the same no matter how many weeks I had.
Yes, because it doesn't give people an incentive to find work, since unemployment benefits are renewed every few months.
