    Letter to my congressman


    This ad goes away when you register.
    DO THE MATH
    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 bon-a-fide 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.

    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 plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

    Now think about how much more 700 billion would be. Write your reps people and remind them that "we the people" can use a calculator too. This is beyond absurd, and congressman that votes for this should be hung for treason. Ya'll send the information to everyone you can think of.

    That'll be the day! Ha! I like it though...besides hanging people. It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out, and by the way why don't WE get to vote on this matter! Grr. I'm going to go YouTube this to see what my favorite presidential candidate says about this (and no, he doesn't have a party backing him up) Best Wishes!

    Hope is good! I just looked on New York Times, and it was shot down. 228 to 205. I guess it'll be coming up again on Wednesday or Thursday this week by supporters though. I can't remember who said it, but I had heard someone comment that when the health care concerns were brought up it was always said that there was no money. Now there's 700 Billion? What?

    if you did the math it would really be only $485.00 a person.... but it's a nice idea...
    You are the wisdom, the power, & the light you seek. All answers lie within.
