Chef Jim Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 It might also have something to do with the gov't taking a lot more money from those folks if Obamacare remains intact. The TAXES in this legislation are not at all insignificant. They'll not only spend it they'll invest it. People making that kind of money don't leave it under their mattress or even in the bank at .0001% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 http://news.yahoo.com/thousands-millionaires-collect-unemployment-202755783--abc-news-savings-and-investment.html Thousands of Millionaires Collect Unemployment A new report shows that some 2,400 millionaires received unemployment insurance benefits during the economic downturn, a number that has caught the attention of politicians who funded extensions of benefits for up to 99 weeks as the economy crumbled. In 2009, 2,362 millionaires received unemployment benefits, down from 2,840 the year prior, according to a study from the Congressional Research Service, a non-partisan arm of U.S. Congress that provides policy and legal analysis. Of the 2,362 more than 1,000 receiving unemployment benefits had a household adjusted gross income of $1.5 million in 2009. The report titled "Receipt of Unemployment Insurance by Higher-Income Unemployed Workers" found that 0.02 percent of tax filers that received unemployment benefits in 2009 were millionaires. A total of $20.8 million in unemployment benefits went to this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
