Uh, no. I'd find a new job.
:thumbsup::thumbsup:Apparently it's not against the law, so that's Michigan's own fucked up fault.
You're saying that the employee would make a little more if it weren't for unemployment insurance paid to the state by the employer? If so, I still contend the employer isn't going to give that $$ to the employee in their check if they don't have to pay the insurance so it's still not the employee's $$.No, he actually paid it, but the state tries to avoid transparency by putting it on the employers side of the transaction. It's money taken out of a transaction between parties A and B, regardless of what the paperwork says.

Why would the state want to do this? And why would wages go back up just because more were hired?You're speaking after the fact. Adding a "employer paid tax" to the payroll only adds downward pressure to the actual wage. It may not showup immediately, but it makes labor cheaper overall, meaning its easier to hire more people, thus forcing wages back up. LIke I said, it is the INTENTION of the state to hide this cost from the masses.
I saw her on the local news today, she is one self entitled bitch in the interview. The state has also removed her from the program, and I think they are going to fast track some legislation to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I've talked to a few people who automatically assume she is black. When I mentioned that she is white they put the race card back in their pocket and pull out the entitled white trash card.
She got 500,000+ dollars . . .. invested in long term bonds she could have gotten a 4% return .... netting her 1700/month for doing nothing! that's a $10/hour job full time! Just think, if she had worked in addition to that she's set for food, rent, etc. that's a nice nest egg to not only gain current income but to retire on later in life!
Any random bond, I'm guessing. The inflation rate always hovers around 3%, so anything less than 3% means you're actually losing money.Where are you getting this 4% return?
To keep the amount of taxes that show on your pay stub to a minimum. Out of sight, out of mind.Why would the state want to do this?
It's called supply and demand.And why would wages go back up just because more were hired?

... No different than a CEO with $1 salary and 15% capital gains tax on the money they live on. ...
Uh no, keeping more of your own money is not even in the same ballpark as getting to spend other peoples money. Especially money that is collected under the guise of it going to people who REALLY need it.
If you paid taxes and take advantage of programs paid for with those taxes how is that different than paying less taxes?
In other words if I would owe $10k but used something to only pay $9k how is that different from paying $10k and getting $1k back in assistance.
Because the assistance is paid for by everyone,
she will be worse off by the end of this year than if she didn't win lottery. made already two big purchases (house and a car), so rest of her money will go supporting these two until there is nothing left.
But you can't hire more people because you have to pay more tax.but it makes labor cheaper overall, meaning its easier to hire more people, thus forcing wages back up.
That makes no sense in the current economy. I need 50 guys that I pay less because I have to pay the tax. The only way the 50 are going to get more is if 1:the company makes more and I'm willing to give it to them or 2:less available help in the labor force. If I do hire more then I have to pay more tax, keeping their wages suppressed. With the economy like it is, I could suppress wages even more and keep more for myself if I were a greedy bastard. If I needed a skilled workforce, in short supply, then they could put the screws to me, i.e. welders are making $48/hr in some parts of the country.It's called supply and demand.
