> It's a social security seen to get you back to employment as soon as possible instead of being a subsidy to your entrepreneur lifestyle.
Wow, that's infuriating. As if employees are great contributors and making a business isn't... Where do they suppose these jobs come from to begin with?
J. K. Rowling said she wrote Harry Potter while on unemployment. The UK system doesn't sound like it's meant to be subsidizing entrepreneurship either, rather it's social welfare.
But Rowling classified her unemployment checks as the best investment the country's ever done given how she's earned billions of taxable income.
Though for every Harry Potter there are millions of not so successful attempts. Others may find it infuriating you're spending their, and obviously yours and your employer's, tax money on hair-brained Kickstarter panhandling ideas.
As I said elsewhere, most of the big discoveries we've had throughout history came from people who didn't have to spend most of their time providing for their survival. Some people, indeed may be infuriated about "their" money being used on ideas they don't believe in. But I consider this a vindictive view (i.e. "I have to work at a job I hate, so everyone else should suffer too!") and not worth spending a lot of time worrying about.
