It sounds as if you're saying that the morally 'best' course of action
would be to stand off and not take the unemployment. I disagree
strongly. I think that if you disagree with the system in the way that
you (and I) seem to, you owe it to America (The USA anyway) to belly up
to the trough and milk it for everything you can. Only by breaking the
treasury's back can we bring reform.
