wordless wednesday...late! :)

A great idea....

What a fantastic idea!!!!


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

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 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

he is back!!!!

and on the phone.... :)

puppies, legos, and homework

I am sooooo tired!

Ok so I am not sure what I was thinking but I shampooed the family room and the living room carpet today! And did the laundry...the dishes...cooked for the princes three plus meals....then minus the smallest persons nap ( not a good idea but a neccesary one) we went to the homecoming football game. North Pole beat Palmer 14-7...very good game and actually a lot of fun! The cheerleaders did a good job too, and I got to see them announce Tyler as freshman royalty! I forgot my camera again! :( After the game we came home to eat dinner and put the rooms back together then leave to drop Ty at the homecoming dance. Cam and I came home after stopping for icecream....Cam put his jammies on and we are staying up super late....around 9 or so because since Leo is still gone and I am doing the single parent game and will have to pick Tyler up.....ok Leo I am more than ready for you to come home now! Plus what I really need to be doing is studying for my computer test and studying for my algebra test....As helpful as Cam can be he is waaaaaay too helpful to do either of those projects! Pray for patience for me...I need it!
