I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG and the other companies.. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserv 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 his $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 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 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 the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC. And remember,
The Family 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.
