As far as I know, unemployment insurance is paid for by the employer's payroll taxes - not the taxes of the general public. It's not welfare.

I didn't say it was welfare. But you're right, I made a hasty comment that wasn't correct - unemployment insurance is not directly paid for by those of us who are working.

As for your first comment - of course you aren't forced to work anywhere & should be able to choose. But some people do consider it irresponsible to quit a job without another one lined up, esp. in this economy.
