Now here is something I could go for, funny how the government can't come up with a plan this brilliant.
Hi Pals,
I'm against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America in
a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals
$425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,0 00 to every person 18+ as a
We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000, 000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000 .00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it'll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car - create jobs
Invest in the market - capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed
Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth le t's really do it...instead of
trickling out
a puny $1000.00 ( 'vote buy' ) economic incentive that is being proposed
by one of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult
U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can 'never work.'
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in
Washington DC.
And remember, The Family plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because
$25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
Kindest personal regards,
A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic.
PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's good for a laugh

Amen brotha! I wonder what my drug addict clients would do with all that money? If they were responsible I'd be out of a job! (since I'm a housing case manager and they'd be able to own their own homes!) On the plus side, I too would have $ and wouldn't have to work.
I love the point of the post and agree completely that there should have been no bailout, but I think the math is a little off. Isn't 85,000,000,000 / 200,000,000 only $425 and not $425,000?
What! You checked the math! Did you read the disclaimer at the top of the blog? Becauses we're not responsible for lies and falsehoods we post. Man I'm really glad now that I only posted that and am not the one responsible for its creation. I won't name names (Kavorka) but I don't know if I'll trust the stuff I get in emails from a certain someone anymore.
Easy there, I just forwarded the email to you. If you look at the email the guy that wrote it actually put his name at the end of it. If I had wrote it, I would have out right lied on purpose and the numbers would be more inflated.
