Re: politics
I was just thinking I should post this with each line on a seperate message
Interesting -- Does anybody in Congress realize this
is how the numbers work?
I'm against the $85 BILLION 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 bona fide U.S.
citizens, aged 18+.
Our population is about 301 million counting every
man, woman and child. So, 200,000,000 might be a fair
stab at adults 18 and up. Now, divide 200 million, 18+
adults into $85 billion - that equals $425,000.00
each! Yes, my plan is to give that $425,000 to every
adult as a "We Deserve It" dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So, let's assume
a tax rate of 30%. Everyone would pay $127,500.00 in
taxes. That sends $25.5 billion right back to Uncle
Sam! It also means that every adult 18+ has
$297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife would
have $595,000.00!
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00?
Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads.
Put away money for college – it'll really 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 and
older (including the folks who lost their jobs at
Lehmann 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 $1,000.00
"economic incentive".
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's
bail out every adult U.S. citizen! < /span
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.
We deserve the money and AIG doesn't. Sure it's a
crazy idea, but can you imagine the coast-to-coast
block party?!
How do you spell Economic Boom? W-e D-e-s-e-r-v-e I-t
d-i-v-i-d-e-n-d! 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, D.C..
And remember, my plan only really costs $59.5 billion
because $25.5 billion is returned instantly in taxes
to Uncle Sam. Good idea? I think so.
PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND WE COULD
MAKE IT A REALITY????????????????
------------------
I recalculated the number to double check
I show the 2006 population estimates for people 18 and
older to be
225,662,922
using that number and $85,000,000,000,000
it would be $376,667.99 per US adult.
Maybe if we confiscated all the high paid CEO's
bonuses we could jack that up some more.
