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 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 trickling out
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 spell 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.

Is it all right if we write your name in for president?

So am I, my wife works for AIG, I hope they fall flat on their face. I don't know why we keep bailing out people with money

What about people who are currently in jail, do they get the money? Is it put on their books or will there be a check written when they get out?

I do like this idea but I'm not sure it would solve anything, this is a free enterprise system that stands as a free enterprise system, if we continue to "give" out money it takes on a whole new agenda, and that's kinda scary.

It sounds good on paper, but I'm not sure of all of the ramifications of it....

But send me the check anyways.... I'm going to Ireland.

Where were you as my Secretary of Finance when I was running for Prez. Dang it all ..

Trying to figure all this out... lol

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.




What the F*** kind of math is this....?!!?


85,000,000,000 / 200,000,000 =

$850 / 2 = $425.


You are off by a magnitude of 1 x 10^3.

Actually...I did the math at work...I am pretty sure it's $4250. The Billion has an extra set of zeros that people seem to forget about.
