You obviously don't understand how unemployment insurance works. Every time you get a check a little is taken out in unemployment insurance. Technically your employer pays it but it's disingenuous to say that the employee doesn't pay for it because it results in lower wages due to payroll constraints. So even though a person might be on it for a year while he is unemployed the truth is he is just getting back some of the money he paid into the system. For most people we are talking about decades of paying in without getting anything back.

As for the people that say everyone is lazy and doesn't want a job wrap your head around this figure.

"there is one job open for every six people unemployed"

How the fuck are these people supposed to get jobs when there physically is not enough to go around?
