People who dismiss the unemployed and dependent as “parasites” fail to understand economics and parasitism. A successful parasite is one that is not recognized by its host, one that can make its host work for it without appearing as a burden. Such is the ruling class in a capitalist society.”

I dont have a problem with UI and such.

I have a problem with people who ABUSE the system.

Most people don't though, or don't for very long.

People on welfare are more like parasites than people on unemployment.

You pay into unemployment (if we don't get into extended benefits/etc) so that's like saying you are a parasite if you get into a car accident and then try and file a claim.

UI can be a very good safety net for people, but far too many people abuse it. So, unemployed lazy bums are parasites but not all unemployed are lazy bums.

I carry wooden stakes and silver bullets when traveling through poor areas just in case.

Unemployment isn't necessarily a disease.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.
