I have a work ethic, I'd love to get paid for not working. I'd love to win the lottery and not have to work.
having money and not having to work is a hell of a lot different than wanting to get paid for doing nothing
Sure, it's different. But then again I get paid for having holidays. In other words I get paid for doing nothing. Is that wrong of me?
holidays are an accepted part of a compensation package.
some people get more paid holidays that others
but you have to have a job to get those don't you?
Sure, but maybe you should have been a bit more specific about what you were talking about. You weren't talking about people getting money for not working, but people who don't have jobs being given money by the government for not working.
Though even then you have those who can't work, who can't currently get a job and have paid into the system for unemployment benefits, and then you have lazy bastards who don't do anything. The latter is far different to the former.
employees do not pay into unemployment
employers do via federal and state unemployment taxes
The benefits paid to jobless workers are financed through federal and stateunemployment taxes paid by employers. Every state's unemployment system bases the employer's tax rate on the amount of benefits paid to former workers. Your actions affect your tax rate.May 2, 2016

This has nothing to do with this topic, and I'm not going to argue over this either. You just need to be clearer about your language.
