A person may be able to "make" $25k on unemployment in some states, but those states are also high cost states.
This is simply not true.
For example, take the listing you posted earlier (which is outdated). The Arkansas rate is $409, but after adjustment for the recent changes, to status for a married couple, with a single dependent, that will easily run $550 or $29,000/y. A person can easily live on 29K in this state.
Add to that the fact that an unemployed spouse can qualify for a similar amount -- you're talking 58K, and a person can easily own a decent house and a couple of decent cars on 58K and still have money left to party on the weekends.
As usual, you just don't know shit from shinola about what you're talking about.
Right, we should raise the minimum wage. It's ridiculous that unemployment can, in very rare circumstances, be higher. Don't you agree? It's unimaginable what we pay people for full-time work in this supposedly wealthy country.
Personally, I don't believe we need a minimum wage at a time when unemployment is going through the roof. It obviously, intuitively causes greater unemployment.

I doubt I make any more than you do. |
