I hate the fact people think the Goverment give's these people benefits. First we are the Gov. 2nd I work 7 days a week in my Company every time we have this welfare payout my unemployment goes up too cover it.

Well, get ready. It's going up AGAIN! There are no JOBS in Maine for these people. The Somali's don't WANT to work, but our people do, and there just isn't any jobs.

"my unemployment goes up too cover it."

Unemployment insurance is an employer expense, not deducted from your pay, and the rate that your employer pays is based on how many of their employees have drawn on their account and how much.

Overall unemployment has nothing to do with how much your employer pays into the system.

The only way you are paying is when Congress extends benefits to the point that it exceeds the miniscule amount that is payed into the federal unemployment insurance account by employers and is paid out of the general fund.
