Sounds good to me.......

Im against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, Im in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a We Deserve It Dividend. To make the math simple, lets 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 $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So lets 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 ? itll 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 parents 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 were going to re-distribute wealth lets really do it...instead of
trickling out a puny $1000.00 economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If were going to do an $85 billion bailout, lets 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.

Heres my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesnt.

Sure its 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.

I'm for it as well.

 

[rebelprettyboy]

We can only wish!

 

[paintballer768]

I love it if that happened. No more worrying about college funds, and tank upgrade here I come!

 

[MarvinsReef]

I'm so IN... where do I sign the petition... :hammer:

 

[iani]

I'm sorry but the math isn't right. 85 billion divided by 200 million = 425 dollars. lol

He should have signed it as "T. J. Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic, horrible at math"

 

[sly fox]

lol awesome

 

[iani]

Although with 425 dollars we all could buy a vortech. lol.

 

[MarvinsReef]

:hammer:

thanks...

[fishes2889]

$425... well that shoots that idea down

 

[Poseidon]

Doh! He is right!!!

I just got this forward from someone here at work... and she forwarded it to EVERYONE, she said she got it from wall street. I had to burst her, and the whole company's bubble, lol. Great plan, just the numbers are a little off lol.

i wonder what the numbers would look like if they divided that money up to people just like the economic stimulus package? (i.e. only working americans who pay taxes and make more than $3k a year, and not more than $80k?).

how big was the total economic stimulus package back in the spring compared to the bailout money now?

It was 100 billion.

 

[surfn]

It was 100 billion.

OK, so if the wallstreet bailout is 850 billion, multiply your $600 economic stimulus by 8.5. I could REALLY use $5100, and there is a great chance i would put forth 50% of that to stimulate the economy. rather than the worthless $600 change they sent me before which i used to pay bills.

 

[ecotoxlady]

How much is the bailout for? BBC says 700 billion.
