“”Just one of the many problems with our gov’t handing out money to everyone who asks. “””
Employers, like me, are forced to pay into the fund. We must pay a percentage of wages paid out. If a guy made a million bucks or a hundred bucks, I still have to pay in on them.
They are entitled to the insurance money no matter how much they earned. I don’t see a problem with a millionaire collecting since I had to foot the bill anyway.
The money employers pay is a percentage of the wages, isn't it? Are the payments capped at a certain wage level? If not, these guys' employers paid in a whole bunch of money for their unemployment insurance. (From each according to his ability,...)
To deny them legitimate insurance benefits based on their other income is just flat wrong. (...To each according to his needs.)
My pop paid SSI DOUBLE for I can't count how many years....because he was self-employed..NEVER saw a dime of it.....
I've paid double for many years myself....
That said,....I've no problem with folks that have paid in...collecting when they need to.
THAT SAID......the FED's don't give a rat's ass what you've paid...
