OT AIG Bailout
Hi Everyone,
I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. These People put us
in this position in the 1st place because of there Greed
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%.
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,
PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for
a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85
Billion!!

well, simple math works like that: 85b divided to 200m citizen is $425 for
each one of them. but that's math, dreams are something else.

Doesn't matter. This isn't a thread that drifted off topic as near as I
can tell (unless my ISP missed the earlier posts) and is not even
peripherally related to Hyundais. OT is for threads that start on topic
and drift off. I don't think this is in that category so it should be
taken it to a political or financial ng.

The cost of Iraq and Afghanistan is insignificant in the overall cost
of the US economy. If you look closer to home you will find the
bailout is simple greed and lack of understanding of simple economics.
You comment shows you don't understand them either so I don't expect
you to figure that out.

Take two 10 dollar bills out of your wallet. Throw one away. Put the
other one in your pocket and thank the government for your check.

You guys can laugh, but once the payback checks start rolling in, I'll be
doing well. Only thing to be resolve is if we get the checks monthly or
quarterly. What do you guys want?
When do we get to appoint the CEO?
