| Robert, retired people do not draw extended unemployment benefits, working people do. You seem, however, to think your taxes support the unemployment fund. They do not. Employers do, and if that $1-billion shortfall happens in October, they will pay higher rates to cover it and then, as always, there will be an element of pass-along to working folks such as you and I.
|
| That is part of why both Republicans and Democrats are supporting the bill in opposition to the Governor's wrongheaded, ideologically based posturing.
|
| It is gratifying to imply from your post that you have no fear of job loss. Many others have that fear, and for all too many it is actuality. This bill brings relief to them, their families, and employers who will have higher rates to pay if that shortfall happens in October.
|
| The Alliance for Retired Americans, by the way, is not an organization working only for retired people. It is a progressive grassroots organization made up of retirees and community groups working on behalf of retirees and working families to preserve and protect Social Security, Medicare and to help establish a sane approach to long-term care, among other important issues confronting retirees, working families, and the next generation.


Who says I'm not the employer and that I am not concerned about having to lay people off? Hmmmmm?
