Oh and just so ya know Johnny if you commented on my post I could give a flying fuck. You are on ignore.

Sorry Alien Alice - Wasn't replying to your bloviation. You can't ignore me anyway. You don't have the discipline to not look.

Besides, I call bullshit on you anyway. I no more believe you make payroll than you have monkeys flying out your ass. If there's any business you're involved in at all it's because daddy gave you a desk to sit at while you suck your thumb and listen to conservobot radio talking points to repeat on internet forums.

If I did not work for my employer and make him money, he would not have to pay into the UC fund for me.
Basically what I am saying is, it is MY productivity that pays for the UC fund, it's NOT paid for out of the employers pocket.

It's like saying my employer pays me each week out of the goodness of his heart... Not by a long shot. He pays me what I HAVE EARNED. I know I make the company money. good money after they pay all the overhead associated with my employment. That includes all taxes and UC funds. So it is my earnings that pay for it.

Nice way to back track Tim

You sound just like a politician

In case your memory is foggy

I have paid into unemployment for almost 28 years.

 

[Keight]

Um just occured to me when you guys say unemployment you mean benifits from the government???

You CANNOT collect unemployment if you haven't worked.

.

over here you can,i know lazy bastards who have been claiming all of their lives,they have it down to a fine art.

"Sounds like you're being critical of him spending monies that he's earned, unemployment is because you've earned it."

Do you agree with the bolded part or disagree? Why?

I'm more appauled by the word monies.....



But to answer your question. I'm not sure. He e4arned the money from his job. I don't think you can honesdtly say he earned it. Thats like saying a disabled man earned his SSI. He's entitled to it and hopefully deserves it. (Some people try to cheat the system.)

Unemployment is definitely earned, you get it because you worked and payed taxes on it, what someone chooses to do with their unemployment benefits is no concern of mine.

Ok, if I use your logic... I do not pay taxes. My employer pays them.

i know people who have never worked,6 kids,plasma t.v.'s,BMW's,spanish holidays every year and regular nights out.....the british system is failing the honest working person

Some people don't seem to understand Unemployment and Welfare are two different things, Unemployment isn't a handout from the Government, it's getting back money that you worked to earn, totally different things.

I see nothing there to show that unemployed people playing by the system live in the lap of luxoury. You're been reading the Daily fail too much. Plasma tellies are a luxoury? Erm, you can by them on tick for a couple of quid a week, lol!

Yes, just over £50 a week each, really isn't a lot to live on
