A bipartisan group of lawmakers from the House and Senate on Thursday introduced legislation to prevent millionaires from taking unemployment checks.

Um, how isn’t this a thing already? (Millionaire=people who earn $1M yearly)
Sorry for Fox News, but it’s the best source with this headline and it says it’s bipartisan so we should probably be good.

      This is exactly the kind of inane rule that feels good, doesn’t do any good, but needlessly complicates a system that should be simple, and only will work well for the poor if it’s simple.

        It is simple. AFAIK people already report their annual income (maybe except stocks for some reason) which should determine their unemployment. That does a lot of good by saving money and annual millionaires don’t need unemployment welfare either.
