(116,003 posts)unemployment insurance is exactly that: Insurance. Somebody (in this case, an employer) pays money into a pool. If there's a claim that money is paid out. It isn't "free." Ya dumb bastard, are you then claiming that insurance "violates" the Declaration of Independence? By the way, ya dumb bastard, it's impossible to "violate" the Declaration of Independence because it's not a law, statute, or constitution. It was just a declaration.
