Unfortunately it won't work unless the politicians can find a way to make a little something extra for themselves!





The Birk Economic Recovery PLan




Hi Pals,

Im against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, Im in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, lets 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 lets 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 itll 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 parents 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 were going to re-distribute wealth lets 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 were going to do an $85 billion bailout, lets 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.

Heres my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesnt.

Sure its 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

I JUST WENT TO SNOPES SITE AND LOOKED IT OVER. THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS, WHO SAYS THAT WHAT SNOPES SAYS IS TRUE, IS TRUE????
THEY ARE THERE TO MAKE MONEY, THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE ADVERTISEMENTS, SO WHO IS PAYING THEM TO TELL US WHAT IS REAL & WHAT IS NOT?

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HUMMMMMMMMMMM
