Thank you Mr Hussein!!!
I don't think you want to go here. There aren't many good paying jobs.
This is slightly off topic, but now that you've stirred the pot,
10+ years of Bush tax cuts for the supposed job creators.
Just one question.
WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

Sure do. It's called being responsible. Many people today live paycheck to paycheck financing a life way beyond their means.

Sorry, but people that were/have been collected UE for 99 weeks might as well take a long walk of a very short pier.

Oh, and the OP's niece is a slacker. Too bad the parents won't tell her to GTFO!

She had a good job before Obama was elected. She worked for a title company and made good money. Now she won't take a job if it doesn't pay as much as her unemployment gets her. So she lives in the house her parents own and pays no rent. They kept it for extra income when they bought another house but she and her boyfriend live there rent free. He is a moocher big time and is along for the free ride.

Are all the 30 and under generation becoming like this? All pickers and giving up to work for a better life? I think our country is in big trouble folks.

Hey, don't knock it. If she knows what she's doing there is a lot of money to be made in that business. My parents did that after they retired and made a boat load of money....not a bad way to make a living. You're making a great assumption about the under 30 crowd though.

A good amount of them. Better life should be "better life" in this sentence. Yes, yes it is :/

Well it's pretty silly to say 'she can't find a job' while simultaneously complaining that she isn't working. She isn't costing YOU any money and clearly thinks she has value and something to offer and employer (hense not offering to scrub toilets for $5 and hour that you apparently think she should be doing instead of collecting UI) so what's the problem? People go through hard times in their life, they are doing what they are doing and may learn a lot about themselves in the process and grow as human beings. Who are you to mock?

Apparently anyone who doesn't become a slave to corporate America and make a 6 figure salary is a lazy, worthless piece of trash in the conservative mindset.

You play the role of victim quite well.

Nope. Just the able-bodied lazy folks that chose to sit around for 99 weeks collecting UE instead of working. I hope they burn in hell, but that's just me.
