Not arguing with you. I really hate this argument about lowering taxes for poorer people, but then still robbing their weekly paycheck or overtime pay when this particular argument applies directly how much money gets taken out of someones pay check every single day.
It seems very silly to argue that unemployment benefits need to be extended because it will help the economy and employment but at the same time, punish the vast majority of people severely who want to work more hours and earn more money. After all, one applies to a small minority of tax payers (less than 10%), one applies to the majority (over 90%). So if there are benefits to the whole/greater good, it would seem to make more sense to apply those benefits to the larger segment of the population - thus, benefiting more people and the whole overall.
