You were getting more than $207/week taken out of your paycheck for unemployment insurance? That's highway robbery!

When you work for 5 years at a place, and unemployment law only recognizes the last 2 years as history, yes, I am getting cheated.

The point of unemployment insurance is to cover things like this. And when the govt's law intentionaly blinds them to your previous payments, there definitely is something wrong.

Did I calculate exactly how much I paid in? No. But do 5 years of being paid reasonably well; I paid in plenty.
