Someone sent this to me and I

thought it was interesting to

think about.

 

“Hi Pals,

I’m against the $85,000,000,0

00.00 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 billion 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 $297,5

 00.00 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 parents 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 U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG – liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

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
