Really? Where are all those people, Nascar? All the ones bragging?

Let's see:

Unemployment from a job paying $80,000 a year (not counting lost retirement, health benefits, social security input): $300/week before taxes

Minimum-wage McDonald's job at $7.25/hr (with healthcare, retirement, social security input): $290/week before taxes

Yeah - the unemployed are just raking it in, by cashing in on those unemployment insurance policies because they were fired or laid off against their will !
