So are you against people abusing unemployment insurance or are you against the concept of unemp insurance entirely? Your point that there is abuse is well taken but many on the right are against safety nets of any type from unemp ins to minimum wages to social security itself. Where do you fall?

I have no problem with unemployment the way FDR conceived it -- which was 100% funded by the unemployment tax. But FDR said at the time it would be a failure if it required general revenue money to support the program, and I agree with him.

As an employee of an S-Corporation in which I own all the stock, I've been required to pay unemployment taxes on my own salary for 30 years. I just think it is time I got some of that money back. If I'm going on the public dole, I'm going to get every nickel I can.
