Reply to comment by reficius1 in Overpayment demand from NHES? Wut? by reficius1

That by definition means you stole from me (and from everyone else who remained solvent for the past three years and was subject to NH state taxation). The least you can do is repay it with restitution.

You don't pay unemployment taxes, employers do.

And where do you think they get that money from?

(Hint: prices. Of everything.)

From their customers, not you the employee

Employees of one business use their wages as customers of other businesses. Those other businesses have to pay for their unemployment taxes via slightly higher prices, diluting the purchasing power of those employees.

One transaction at a time, everyone in the economy pays taxes, directly and indirectly.

Electricity is energy. Taxation is just theft. That is the difference.

Who does the government pay for all that work? Private contractors. Government is just a pointless inefficient monopolistic middleman that could just as well be cut out.

I think you need to check the definition on the word “definition” buddy. You clearly don’t understand how unemployment gets funded.

Did no one persecute you today, and you're feeling lonely? Seriously, what the fuck?
