Economic Bail-Out

[ErinB]

I love the way this man thinks!

 

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 bon-a-fide 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 $425,000 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 let'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 US 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 Birk 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,

 

> Birk
