Instead of bailing out AIG,
I’m in favor of giving ,000,000,000 to America in a
"We Deserve It For the BS" 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 billon that equals 5,000 each
My plan is to give 5,000 to every person 18+

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay 7,500.00 in taxes.

That sends ,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has 7,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has 5,000.00.

What would you do with 7,500.00 to 5,000.00 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 00.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we’re going to do an 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 wil never be.
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 Billion

And remember, this plan only really costs .5 Billion because .5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Now doesn’t this sound better than bailing out AIG?

You did not catch a math mistake, you caught a typing mistake. Not to worry, I’ll start typing with my other foot now. Eventually I will get up to both feet.

You know we don’t have 200 billion people in the country yet.
To Jake
Any time someone wants to give me 5,000 and take 30% of it back, I am all for it. I am a "Glassis half full" type of guy. You appear to be a "Glass is half empty"
