> 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

> 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 assu me 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_ (http://ragingbull.q
> uote.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=JOKES&read=64700) - health care
improves
> Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean or else
>
> Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the fol ks
> who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other compan y
> 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

> a puny $1000.00 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 work.
>
> But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
>
> How do you s pell Economic Boom?
>
> I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
> We Deserve It Dividend more than the geniuses at AIG or in Washington
DC .
>
> And remember, The Family pla n 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.
