NO SMOKESTACKS.... NO JOBS.


WITH INCOME TAXES AND INFLATION....

WHO NEEDS ONE?


RIDE THAT COMP, BITCHES!

Cut unemployment benefits back to normal, and people will find work at the level they are qualified for.

It's not difficult to understand. Let's say you're getting $400 a week in unemployment benefits. That's the equivalent of a fulltime job at $10 an hour. And, the only taxes taken are a flat 10% federal withholding. You aren't paying FICA or State or local taxes on that money.

So why would you go out and get a job, even if it was a few dollars more an hour? Or less, even?

It's a perverse incentive.

It's only a bandaid solution though, and unsustainable. The federal government mandated the states to extend unemployment benefits and LOANED the money to cover them. Still no jobs and the first interest payments are now due. Guess who's footing the bill? Small business owners in the form of tax hikes.

Uh, it's not a solution at all. It's an impediment to employment growth.

And it costs money.

All that needs to be done is require people receiving unemployment or welfare to report for work at the county barn at 8am every day. Put them to work cleaning the streets, public buildings, libraries, police stations. cutting grass, painting, etc. The number of unemployed would drop drastically, it would be amazing to watch them find jobs if they actually had to work for that unemployment check.

Why don't we do this. I know why, bureaucrats would make it complicated. I hate desk jockeys. They all should be killed.

Never happen. Since unemployment disproportionately affects niggers, implementing your plan would be like putting them back on plantations.

It may not be the same in every state but in MA you DO pay state income tax on unemployment benefits.

Put the unemployed in the fields picking fruits and vegetables.

Sooooooooooooo, no work, no free money. the other benefit would be getting all of the thugs off the streets during the day, and tiring them out so they would sleep at night. the crime rate would drop like a stone.

Our city has inmates from the local jail doing a lot of that.

1. Most people looking for jobs are average joe's, not thugs. Thugs rob banks and mug you.

2. Most states DO require State Tax to be paid on unemployment.

3. Who cares when anyone sleeps? STOP MICROMANAGING EVERYONE'S LIVES. THOUGHT YOU WANTED LIMITED "GOVERNMENT"?

4. Unemployment used to be for a MAX of 28 weeks.....now it's more. What year did that change?

5. Many unemployed CAN'T EVEN GET IN THE DOOR BECAUSE JOB ADS SAY..."ONLY CURRENTLY-EMPLOYED WILL BE CONSIDERED". How do you like 'them discriminating apples?". WAKE UP!
