Have not receive any ei for the last 5 years and yet it continues to increase.

保費增長設上限每百元10仙

(渥太華30日加新社電)財政部長費拉逖(Jim Flaherty﹐圖)周四宣布﹐明年1月1日起輕微調高就業保險(EI)保費5仙﹐加幅低於原來計劃﹐並且限定未來的加幅﹐商界表示歡迎。

費拉逖宣布﹐聯邦政府會調高保費﹐每100元受保收入保費增加5仙。此前政府計劃每100元受保收入保費增加15仙﹐商界團體警告說﹐那會導致數以萬計的人失業﹐傷害脆弱的經濟復蘇。

費拉逖也宣布﹐政府會限制未來就業保險保費增長幅度﹐每100元受保收入保費最多10仙。

他說﹐新措施與原計劃相比﹐明年將為僱主和僱員節省12億元。政府也將2011年就業保險保費上限﹐設定為每100元受保收入最高1.78元。

費拉逖說﹕「這會在脆弱的經濟增長形勢下﹐支持創造就業﹐令商戶及其僱員有更多資金。」

費拉逖也啟動1項全國諮詢活動﹐討論就業保險保費的設定﹐可以「更加改善﹐保證往後有更穩定、可預見的保費。」他補充﹐過去兩年就業保險累積的赤字﹐未來數年就業保險保費需要大幅﹑穩定的增加﹐填補計劃的赤字。

Sounds okay la, although I haven't claimed EI before...

This is already a reduction of 10 cents compared to what was originally announced. IIRC, the government was looking to increase EI contributions by 15 cents per $100 income, but the economy recovered well enough that EI contributions only need to go up by 5 cent per $100.

Besides, if you haven't relied on EI for the last few years, shouldn't you be thankful that you have a secure job?

先嚇吓你
話要加15％
然後
話淨係加你5％啦
我哋係唔係要歡呼呢？

有需要 又有理據嘅
加幾多都有商量
為去整靚盤數
然後就分花紅？
我唔係水魚

Shouldn't people in HK be thankful that they weren't born in rural Africa then? Why do they still complain so much?

"Insurance" such as EI doesn't make sense because it punishes the winners to compensate the losers.

People in HK are complaining because of the social injustice they face every single day. The rich are hoarding all the wealth while the poor have no chance at social mobility.


Being the compassionless extreme right wing conservative that you are, of course you do not believe in social justice nor safety nets. When the day comes where you got fired, couldn't find a job, and couldn't afford your meds, you'd be singing a different tone.

I have exactly the same standards that I have for others for myself.  If i get fired, I don't expect to receive EI if I don't support it.  I support a natural selection process, so things like EI just artificially make those people survive who are unable to otherwise.

True, and this is why I still have a certain level of respect for you. But that doesn't change the fact that you are a compassionless extreme right wing conservative elitist. More importantly, you don't really know if your attitude will change should you get laid off, get seriously ill, etc.

You can surely say that now, but at the same time when you bash the government and the filthy rich, you also don't know whether you will do exactly the same thing when you are in their position.  You are just fighting for all those causes right now because you are part of the group that will benefit from the changes you want.
