food for thought in these crazy times. thought i'd share.

 

Hi Pals,

 

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

BUY SOME GUITARS

 

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.

 

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 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.

 

Kindest personal regards,

 

Birk

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for a

laugh

or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!

It's that math - and the lipstick - that got my vote.

 

I mean - what else is there to look forward to.....

 

Crazy math

 

Crazy makeup

 

Beats Oby-wan-obama and Mac-novo-caine hands down.

 

Though that Michael Palin has her moments, isn't it, doesn't it, don't they,

You mean give that kind of walkin' around money for doing.... absolutely nothing????

 

Heck, if it works for Prince Chuck, why not folks like us and Larry Bill and his boy Bobby Bill?

 

"1 2 3

Big TVs down to Wal-Marts

Those colored lights and flashin' bars.

All the kids are going crazy

Gotta have plastic guit tars

 

Try to sound like Jimmie Hendricks

Lynrd Skynrd and the rest

They gotta do no pickin'

just know which bars to press

 

here we go...

 

My guit tar ain't maid of plastic

got a wooden one you see?

plug it in and turn the amp on

I don't gotta watch TV

 

My guit tar ain't maid of plastic

got a wooden one you see?

plug it in and turn the amp on

I don't have watch to TV

 

If you think you're really playin'

Then you haven't got a clue

all us real guit tar heroes

had to pay a lot of dues

 

Let's see you do that with a plastic guit tar!"

 

Somebody else plug in the chords.
