This
idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won't be
given serious consideration. How great is our
bureaucracy!!
Hi Pals,
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 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 $297,500.00 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 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 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
