Subject: Unemployment

Comment: I would like to understand the rationale for the Federal Government imposing Federal Income Tax on Unemployment Benefits. I know the Federal Government has a lust to reach further and further into everyone's pockets, but when a person is Unemployed, I ask for the reasoning.

The State of New Jersey exempts both Unemployment Benefits AND Social Security from the NJ Income Tax.

Have a good day.
