Millionaires and Unemployment
Strange. One would not think that a person who is a millionaire would get, or even qualify, to receive unemployment. The maximum amount is $450 a week. Yet, that is what is going on. A recent study showed that 2400 people, all millionaires, did receive the maximum amount in unemployment. In America, there are 11 million millionaires. Out of the 2400, 18 had reported a gross income of $10 million a year and were receiving $12000 in unemployment benefits. Another 74 earned between $5-8 million dollars. The remaining were just millionaires earning about $11000 in unemployment payments.
Because of the report, government officials are considering eliminating all benefits for any other who has earnings of one million or more. This alone would save $20 million. What is there to think about? Isn't this a perfect "duh"? Unbelievable.
