Practical Solution to Economic Woes

Our financial system is in crisis.

Here's a novel way to rectify it:.

Wouldn't this be nice?



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 thei r 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+!
