A Recovery Plan We Could All Live With, No Bailout plan.

I copied this from an email I recieved!

 

 

OK.....here's a plan I could live with.

 

 

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 $425,000 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 team 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 do the geniuses at AIG or in

Washington DC.

 

 

And remember, my 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.

 

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good

for a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85

Billion!!

Yeah really. The idiot who wrote that email needs to go back to 2nd grade.

 

85,000,000,000 / 200,000,000 = 425

 

But hey, I'll take $425.
