You've gotta see this...AIG Bailout

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. 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 Davis 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,

A.C.Davis, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic

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!!

I'm furious at the oversight of two groups right now.

1) AIG and all these companies for fucking up this badly and NOT be punished for it (and no, firing the CEO is not fixing the problem).

2) The American people to be so stupid and gullible to believe that all this debt they incurred would never be of consequence. We're, if anything, more to blame.
 
If the math wasn't messed up, and everyone really did get $425,000.00 or whatever the value was, things would never work. People would quit they're jobs, because they wouldn't need to work, and if people quit their jobs (everyone would), everything would be in chaos. It would never work. But that's just assuming that was correct (which it isn't anyways).
 
^ didnt mean to post that, what i was saying is i disagree, i dont think everyone would quit just the people that were already a few years away from retirement. Those people would but im not sure it'd be enough people to make that big of an impact on our economy.
 
Not to get TOO political here, but Obama proposed pretty much exactly this in his press conference yesterday: since they American People are effectively buying these companies, they should be treated like investors.
 
yeah accept youd need 85 trillion dollars 85,000,000,000,000 bucks son

to earn 85 trillion dollars you gotta earn like 1000 bucks a second for about 700 years
 
hahahah i find it hilarious that the chain mailer did all this typing, and he did the math wrong thats straight up the biggest fail ever period
 
the SPIC insurance or whatever (similair to FDIC for banks but for investments instead) will not allow any crazy disbursement of funds like that.

People were insured on those investments and annuties to 100k and in some cases beyond. Those people need to be paid in full.

I do agree that there should be no "golden parachute" for the CEO, CFO or president of AIG. The customers that gave them the cash should get it back. If you never invested in AIG then you deserve nothing.

The bank crisis is another story, I agree with you there, let them go under and pay us instead, they are the ones who lent when they shouldn't have due to wall street demand to trade these loans like stock/commodities.

 
AIG has many many foreign interests which wouldn't benefit

That would be fairly inflationary for the US economy anyway, just another short term bandage
 
Since you have no idea what you are talking about can you stop putting terrible ideas in the minds of young impressionable pre-teens and teens?

And it's not just one company silly goose.

And it's not stealing because they aren't eliminating any programs to offset this... they are just doing.

That's the great thing about the mindset of our government, they just spend spend sped. (Sarcasm)

For once I would like to agree with jumister and have everyone go read the slightly more intelligent thread of his creation.
 
yeah lets just give everybody a shit ton of cash so they can spend it on stupid useless shit. putting cash into peoples pockets doesnt do jack shit. giving people cash is just a way to ultimately boost profits of companies like walmart.
 
yea Stowe got the shit end of the deal because AIG owns Stowe, so now tis for sale. sucks alot. probly gonna be more expensive after it is sold
 
shut up. and to the thread creator, that would never work , all it would do is cause massive inflation and ruin the US dollar. People make gains from others losses. if everyone got that much money nobody is better off.
