Independent individuals learn to stand on their own feet or at least on the foundation of family. Would you go to the neighbor that lives next door to you and tell them you have lost your job and would they be willing to help support you for the next 180 days?
My children work hard and long hours, but are barely sustaining themselves. As unemployment is presently configured and administered by government, the working successful workers are penalized by bad businesses or marginal employees. This is classic liberalism; punish success for the benefit of failures.
Your thinking is an embarrassment to freedom.

That's a canard. Unemployment insurance does not simply reward failure although it can do that. Likewise paying the tax will "punish" success to a minor extent, although the social benefit of reducing the spread of recession through ripple effect reduces that "punishment" somewhat. Ok, my answer is a canard too.
