drain what system??? unemployment isn't a government system that everyone pays into like welfare. the employers pay into the unemployment and when someone files unemployment then their rates go up. maybe you should research where unemployment money comes from before you assume that it's from your pocket.
Gee, thanks... I never knew this! Do you think your employer just writes a check for your benefit? NO... it comes out of your salary. Just like when the government taxes a company, you pay for it in the form of higher prices. Therefore, the more people a company lays off, the higher their unemployment taxes are. GM pays a ton... Microsoft not so much... therefore, when people spend months on unemployment drawing a check from the employer, they have to pay more, and that increased cost is reflected in higher taxes, and lower wages. It IS all a big system. So really, Cartman's welfare is not from my pocket, but it is from someone elses. So maybe YOU should do a little economic research yourself and figure out who's paying for the unemployment checks for your ex-coworker who is living it up, auditioning for game shows and driving his SLK/Boxster...
