In context, what part of that do you disagree with? Would you rather have pretty much nothing if you were laid off or have some kind of safety net? I was calling CJ's bluff. Message 28724425 Message 28724641 Would you rather have pretty much nothing if you were laid off or have some kind of safety net? Countries are falling apart around the world due to what was advocated. Hell, you give me 80% of my current salary indefinitely and include health insurance, I'll take unemployment right now. Do you realize what you're for? Read it again..... If I were to be unemployed, I'd much prefer 100% of my last wage with health insurance for a year, dropping to 80% indefinately, instead of less than 20% with the option of paying $500 a month for health insurance for 6 months. Welfare isn't no different than white collar crime . Both are driven by human instincts. When crime pays well, it grows; when welfare pays well, it grows. I'll say it again, you give me 80% of my salary indefinitely starting tomorrow, and include health insurance for free, I'll take it. Wouldn't you?
