The JACKASS party are nothing without the slaves that empower them. Nothing has changed in 150+ years. The DUmocrats are the party of SLAVERY, SEDITION (against the Constitution), SUBVERSION (of law), SOCIALISM (for free citizens) and SURRENDER (to America’s enemies).
No doubt...tax those on the government payroll at rates higher than anyone, including zillionaires. Make them fund the bull chit they impose on everyone else.
One exception that excludes the military. They have already paid their due in blood, sweat and tears.
I should add including those serving as desk jockeys at the pentagon or as advisors to DUH-bama in the higher tax bracket as they have only earned thier pay on the backs of the grunts currently serving on the front lines.
Why are you unemployed is the real question. The Gummit stopped the drilling and now you are unemployed. If they didn’t have this check you and the rest of the workers would be knocking down their doors, but hey have bought you off. The real issue is why are you unemployed, you should be working and so should millions more.
Pray for America
The acute reason that I am unemploymed because the company I worked for lost a client due to a merger of that client with another company. The client already had a service provider contract under the "merged into" company. The sales team at my former company did not generate a new client and thus, my position was eliminated.
I know you're getting at the general "why" and the general "without UI, people would be breaking down doors", but I'm living outside the classroom and under my own personal circumstances where I'm out of savings and unemployment in one month's time and there are not enough jobs for me and those millions of others.
I routinely received good performance reviews at this job. I had no hand in the sales process other than providing outstanding service to the client team I worked out. Those sales people who failed are still there. Nice how that works.
I did not create exotic mortgaged backed securities. I did not pass laws mandating mortgage approvals to those clearly unable to pay. I did not buy a home I could not afford. I did not sell a home or mortgage to someone who could not afford it. I did not vote for Obama. I called and emailed against amnesty and the healthcare bill. I demand the Bush tax cuts remain the same. I am against the stimulus and recognize it as an Obama slush fund of bribe money. I am against the Bush TARP money too.
But I'm just me - one person, completely powerless to stop this. And so, yea, I understand the WHY quite a bit, thanks. I'd just like to keep my lights on while I pray for better days.
You are preaching to the choir. I am in the lumber business and have pretty much wiped out my savings and refuse to go on UI. I am living on faith and so far the Lord has provided and he will in the future. Have you thought of starting your own business?
You are not powerless, they want you to believe you are powerless to maintain power. Join some groups, you have the time to organize people and stop this. Keep the faith.
Merry Christmas
