    If I was a millionaire, I should NOT be able to collect unemployment. I'd go as far to say I should NOT be able to collect social security......

    I wouldn't do it personally, but those people paid in like the others right?

    Yea they paid in........but with all the fraud and abuse, don't you think it could be better spent somewhere else.

    If a millionaire really needs it then ok, but if not......then why collect it.

    Both of my daughters as college students qualify for Food stamps.....I'm talking about 600/month total. Are they collecting it........HELL NO. Are we eligible, and would it sure make things easier.........YES.

    My point. Just because you qualify or you "paid" doesn't mean you should partake in a give away.

    I agree...every man, woman and child in this country needs to learn to do more with less, millionaire's included.

    I agree completely that most millionaires should personally choose not to apply for it, and I am inclined to believe that most don't.

    That is entirely different than calling for the government to place a "cap" based on an individuals net worth. Also in almost all states the employer pays the majority is not all of the money paid into the system, not the employee.
