    >> Hi Friends,
    >>
    >> 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%.
    >> < BR>> 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 job s
    >> 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
    >> 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 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 Lawson p lan 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.

  2. yea, i see that everywhere. almost every site..
    man.. who ever made this, became famous lol :rolleyes:
     
  3. Umm, 85 billion divided by 200 million equals 425...

    Is that supposed to be the funny part?
     
  4. yea ik.. he screwed the math up soo bad.. it funny
     
  5. Haha, yeah "He lost 'em good."

    What would be nice is ~$3500 instead of $700 billion going to FM & FM.
     
  6. its not 3500, i think its 450 dollars..
    ah who cares...
     
  7. Actually it only equals $425. To give 200,000,000 people $425,000 each would cost a total of $85,000,000,000,000 (that's 85 quadrillion dollars).
     
  8. yeah.. that pretty much right..
    dam. if that happen, dollar has no value anymore..
     
  9. 700 billion divided by 200 million equals 3500. That's what we all could get from the "Bailout" if they gave us back our money instead. Plus, the $85 billion for AIG, we could all get ~$4050... I know that would help me. How bout you guys?
