I am sure people are awared of what's going on with the US economy. I begin to think that if the government want to help the people out. Why not do it this way as shown below? ________________________________________________________
Subject: $85 Billion ?
=arial>
Hi everyone, check this formula out, it makes sense no matter what political views you have. I'm against the Government's decision of the $85,000,000,000.00bailout for AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving the$85Billion 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+adults. 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 $25.5 billion right back to Uncle Sam. But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife get $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. Pay off 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 $1,000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President. =0 A 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 relief of stress, depression and suicides? ="font-size:> I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividend more than the geniuses at AIG do, or Washington , D.C. And remember, This plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam. The Government would actually be making a wise investment. PS: Feel free to pass this along to your friends. It's either good for a laugh or a tear, or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion of taxpayer money!!
at first I really thought most of the american people are smart... but there are some american citizen who are so called the refugees pretending they are self-claimed to be so proud of the USA...
..hahaha...if you actually read and DO THE MATH...$85,000,000,000 divided by 200,000,000 people, that comes out to $425 for person....hahahaha not $425,000. hahaha good one buddy.
American is to many greedy people in wall st and DC area... American people should stand up and fight for their money. Insteading giving it back to Wall St, or so call bailout plan. Our congress is no longer can be truthed.
it has to be 85trillion dollar to get 425,000 each for 200million peep. your math sucks
You are all correct. I didn't read correctly. It was sent by my co-worker. Doesn't matter what, I am not pretending to be a proud Americans or anything like that. As an individual who is paying taxes, I think we all deserved to get a break. If you don't live here in the US then it's different story. By all means, look at how much money spent on wars, bailouts and greedy governments. I mean it's got to be even more than 100 trillion of tax payer's money. Common people like us just got poorer and wall street and CEO's just got even richer.
It's the rich people that you are talking about. These are big companies that are owned by billionaires. I guess power and money go hand in hand in this case.
