Which is ridiculous because those people paid into the safety net when they had jobs. I was on unemployment for about 7 months and I didn't feel the least bit guilty because I had been paying into it for 20 years. Well, technically my employers paid it, but they paid it with the results of my labor.

Although I did work a temp job doing physical labor during that, but it was mostly an effort to get a full time position in my career at that employer (it worked). Plus it helped with the depression from sending out hundreds of applications without getting a single interview.
