Today, I realized that my father's weekly unemployment check is more than my bi-weekly pay check. My full time job pays less than my father's unemployment. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, when I checked on my last payroll, I realized that I pay more in taxes than I do in house bills. FML
Today, I realized that I spend more money on gas to go to my job than what I get paid. FML
Today, I found out that I was denied for work study eligibility by my college. I went to my financial advisor to ask why. It wasn't my grades or attendance. Apparently my father makes too much money for me to get a job at the school. My dad was fired 3 months ago and has been out of work since. FML
Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML
Today, after years of waiting, my mom and I finally received a check from Child Support Services. Excited, I opened it up to find a check from my dad, written out for 45 cents. Which pays for maybe half a loaf of bread. FML
Today, my father's company shut down his branch, leaving him without a job. This is followed by a letter from my school's financial aid office, saying I'm not getting a penny because my family's income level is too high. FML
Today, I get to stand in the unemployment line for the second time in a year because my company can't pay me. My parents own the company. FML
Today, I excitedly went to check this week's paycheck, only to see that I only received $9.00. This isn't a mistake, this is really what I make. FML
Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML
Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML

Sounds like somebody doesn't understand how unemployment works.

He needs to pay taxes on his unemployment. Your taxes are already deducted from your paycheck.

biweekly means twice a week. which means you get paid twice a week. which means that if your biweekly pay check was the same amount as your dad's weekly unemployment check, you would be getting paid double what he does. dumbass.

Welcome to the U.S. of A., where a gay, lesbian, or black citizen can attend college for free, while a kid with a 4.0 GPA, a 29 ACT score and an Associates Degree out of High School has to pay 18,000 a year for a college education because he and both of his white parents have a job.

Those of you that know what you are talking about, cookies for all of you. For the rest of you who have to comment just to say "th gvnment sux man, i haet abaoma, laize peopl jus sit on der ass," just stop it. Nobody wants to hear the opinions of a 12 year old that has no idea what they're talking about. Listen to the people who know what they're saying.

The welfare system is all kinds of ****** up, and there's really no one politician or even political party to blame for it.
