If payments are based on income than anyone who earned more prior to their termination had at least a theoretical opportunity to amass some savings and assets, yet they get a big check, while the guy on the bottom making nothing gets less than nothing.

And while that system is understandable for a brief period, it makes increasingly less sense the longer it goes on. The guy on the bottom is forced to immediately accept ANY job that's offered while the more affluent guy has (at least theoretically) the luxury of waiting for something better. At some point you have to place all unemployed people into the same category.
