No? You don't give a crap about the poor either.
Hm lets see,volunteering in soup kitchens,giving clothes we have outgrown away for free,giving away food we may not want or have an excess of,giving rides to my neighbor who has no car and kids to feed. Oh and giving money to the firefighters at the intersections,the salvation army person ringing the bell at wal mart etc. etc. Oh and on top of that I am poor as well.

The article names a woman. Get in touch with her and pay her cable bill for her then.
Do your part rather than demanding "society" take care of it.

Please show the article/section that gives the federal government that power to provide unemployment insurance. Transcript of the Constitution of the United States - Official Text

I was wondering how long it'd take before someone used the "move to Somalia" argument.

If your position isn't valid, then I guess that kind of crap is all you have.

I got nothing against helping people.

What I do have a problem is, taking my earnings by force and impoverishing me, for the benefit of someone else.

Taxes don't fund infinite unemployment benefits FYI.
