Now you are finally making sense. Yeah, you will have some. You always have some who will try to game the system. But punishing a whole group for the sins of a few doesn't make sense. I've made sense from the outset. It is YOU, not me, who has moved the goalposts. My original point stands: The incentive is to watch Oprah instead of working, and even though NOT EVERY PERSON scams the system, the incentive is there for ALL unemployeds to do so. I am making sense. I WAS making sense at the outset. YOU have not made sense throughout this argument and your last post makes no more sense than your first one. If you pay people to watch Oprah and marginal benefit to them for working is not enough to make it worthwhile they won't do it. UNDER EVERY STATE UNEMPLOYMENT PROGRAM THE INCENTIVE IS AGAINST WORKING. To add insult to injury, the incentive for employers is AGAINST hiring, as well -- due to the massive tax burden of hiring an employee. So, it is a double whammy. The employers are incentivized not to hire, and the employees not to work. This is the New Deal.
