Can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

With the following plan I could restore all three of my trucks PERFECT. Pay off my mortgage and build a shop that would make any guy cry with joy!!!

... Well pretty close anyway


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, they deserve it!

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s put every adult U S Citizen 18+ back in the Black!

As for AIG – liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General, or put the money 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, This plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned
instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

I like the sound of that but if you check the math you will find the decimal point off by 3 digits and the total divided up is only $425.00
