“-— and today’s version of unemployment compensation should not be able to vote.”

So my daughter,an MBA who had worked for over 25 years and was laid off and collected unemployment for about a year shouldn’t have been able to vote?
Ridiculous !
She is now working but the entire experience was very difficult for her.

As kindly as I can say this... Some years ago, my husband lost his job due to the company going bankrupt. He was unemployed for a long time .. trying to find work anywhere. He would NOT file for unemployment, even though he could have. In those years, to some, there was a stigma to government ‘gifts’. He would not stand in that line for that handout (and yes, it was considered that back then). Did it gain us anything? Not much.. it just was a standard of principle for this one man.
When I got out of the Navy it was 39 weeks. I got a job pronto.
One of the reasons she had trouble is because of the damage the "tax and spend" Democrats have done to the economy. Yes, I feel extended benefit receivers should be denied the vote while getting benefits since they're most likely to be getting them during an election cycle.
Well, everyone EXCEPT your darling daughter of course. /s
After 25 years at a good paying job, she should have been able to care for herself for a year.
I’ve been unemployed. Considered myself a perfect example of what was wrong with the unemployment system.
