Watch Democrat reporters argue to pay the workers more to not work

So they can only do it for people who work regular hours. What about the people who work varied hours and don't know their schedule for the next month?

No, they do it for everyone. That’s why it’s an average.

You know this bill is also just giving everyone under $99K ($198K for couples) a check, right? The point is to give people money they didn't earn. The whole frame you're approaching this from is completely off.

Slightly more generous UI for the lowest paid workers is the least of your worries if you object to the entire concept of a stimulus package.

Which makes even less sense right now than overpaying unemployment.
 
Bullseye said:
Why do you ask stupid questions? No one is going to go broke based on the UI rates in the bill, BUT, the rates should make it worthwhile to go back to work as some as possible instead of milking the system for the most possible.

Robert thinks American workers should not get unemployment benefits. Without those checks, millions of people who lost their jobs will drop below the poverty line.

We all know sociialism is about making the wealthy do what they are supposed to do with their money: help people who need it and level the playing field.

That is like saying about the last SuperBowl that it was the duty of the KC Chiefs to hand to the 49ers more points to level the playing field.

That Oprah Winfrey owes the public her money.

As an Employer, I paid those benefits for the workers. So it was a gift to them. They never earned any of it. I also donated to them health benefits. Never did my employees so much as pick up the cost I paid for utilities.

However that may be, you must prove I said what you said I said.
 
It all comes down to: whether you think forcing people to give you the money that they either worked fairly hard for or inherited and then giving that money to someone who is less better off but doesn't necessarily deserve it, is worse than selfishly hoarding a large amount of money and occasionally using it to make your life better even when there a millions of people out there, some far away and some living fairly near to you, who severely lack the money to survive and obtain basic human needs, and who don't necessarily deserve the situation they find themselves in - no more than you necessarily deserve the situation you find yourself in.

This is why Democrats are not good for America. Politicians I mean. The public can learn and change. But can the politicians change. They fight the Republicans to pay workers far more to not work than to work on their jobs. A shame I tell you.

Nobody takes the right wing seriously about morals. All corporate CEOs needed to do was lie to their stockholders to get their multimillion dollar "performance bonuses", last time corporate welfare saved them.

Employment is at the will of either party. People should be able to quit and collect unemployment compensation. As an employer, you are informing me you only have lousy management and don't really care about social equality.
 
A republican is someone who believes the poor deserve no sympathy or compassion because they are poor due to their own choices. What is truly remarkable about them is that even the poorest Republicans believe this themselves. I think ultimately the source of this type of thinking lies in offshoots of the Protestant faith. It is no coincidence that Republican voters tend to me more religious then Democratic voters and their main religion is not Catholic, it is some Protestant sect.

California max unemployment is $450 a week or so, add a federal stipend to that, why work unless it is for cash.

You're sarcasm meter needs a tune up.

No it does not. I am a Christian. Lying is always a sin. Accepting this thing called "sarcasm" is supporting lies, and therefore opposing God.

Your spelling needs a tune-up.

If you read more of the OP's posts you would feel dirty and understand that ignoring his posts is the best thing for everybody.
