Default shopping pains

I would be willing to donate my share directly to Bushy.

You're wrong. I never paid dime one in unemployment
insurance payments. The companies I worked for were
required by law to pay them. I know what you are gonna
say. You're gonna claim I would have earned a bigger
paycheck if the company did not have to pay unemployment
insurance premiums. I maintain that is NOT the case. The
companies would simply have pocketed the extra profit.

Besides, only fools view unemployment insurance as
something everyone who pays should collect. I've got
news for you, buddy, insurance only works when everybody
in a group pays and a few in a group collect. If everyone
collects his 'fair share' said fair share would not be enough
to pay the benefits people who really need it expect and
deserve. It was never meant to keep some lazy ******* in
beer and cigarettes. Instead of receiving 2/3rds of one's
normal paycheck one would receive more like 1/50th of it.
How some people ever got the idea that insurance
is some kind of magic bullet is hard to fathom. I guess
one can expect little more from a Canadian, at any rate.

S.Simon - actually knows how the system works.

Discussed this with a Scottish buddy of mine... he boasted he'd never

been
on unemployment insurance and had never taken a check for it. I pointed

out
to him that considering the taxes he paid and the fact the unemployment
deduction was taken from his paychecks all thos years... it would be
tantamount to refusing to take an insurance payment on your car that

someone
else ran into and wrecked because you were to proud .... just Plain

Stupid!

Try not paying a portion of the income Tax and see if your government is

too
"Proud" to take you to court and seize your money/assets.

Your line of thinking is illogical.
