The Birk Plan
Someone found the answer to make us all happy!!
I LOVE THIS PROPOSAL !!
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 adults in the U.S.
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 and housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans and what a great boost to new grads.
Put away money for college and it'll be there.
Save in a bank and you will create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car and you create jobs.
Invest in the market and capital drives growth.
Pay for your parent's medical insurance and 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 are going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out
a puny $1000.00 ( vote buy ) economic incentive.
If we are going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG you 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 is my rationale. We deserve it and AIG does not.
Sure it is 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 in Washington DC .
And remember, The Birk 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.
