A Better Economic Plan - "We Deserve It"

I didn't write this, but, I knew I'd be re-posting it.... because, by golly, "We deserve it"! And, it actually DOES make more sense!



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 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.
After all, don't they deserve something too?

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, or put the more collected towards our national debt!

Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
After all, everyone will have $297K - $595K to spend!

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't. The fat cats there already made their commissions! They'll get a check too.

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 Washington
DC.

And remember, the "We Deserve It" 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.

:laughing: Excuse me if I am wrong but isn't 85 billion divided by 200 million only 425?
 
Re: A Better Economic Plan - "We Deserve It"

Sounds really good to me, I'd be all for that one. :laughing:
 
Re: A Better Economic Plan - "We Deserve It"

I think in addition to a minimum wage we need a maximum wage.. :laughing: well, for CEO's of banks anyway..

I didn't really examine the math in the above post cause its all Greek to me but it certainly sounds good. :popcorn:
 
Re: A Better Economic Plan - "We Deserve It"

:scratch: or is it 85 trillion :popcorn: and how accurate are those numbers :laughing:
 
Re: A Better Economic Plan - "We Deserve It"

I think I should get to pick out who gets the money...don't worry, I will share with all of you guys, but I think that everyone of those stupid CEO's need to go to jail. They played a losing game and the only people that are paying for it are us. Greed is a powerful thing ~ let a common man with common sense plan this thing and I bet it will work out a lot better!

Ping1970: I agree, you would do a way better and fairer job than these bozos!! We should not reward the people who caused this with lots of money. their assets should be seized to pay for their crimes and they should be thrown in jail.

To all: I did not write this, as I said, so I cannot vouch for the math. My forte lies elsewhere, and I read it looking at the idea, not the figures. But aside from math mistakes, you gotta admit it makes sense... We should not reward criminal behavior with a huge check, and this idea would REALLY stimulate the economy, and bail out those who really deserve it - us. I know it will never happen, but it goes a long way to point out the absurdity of what our government is doing.
