How about them apples ????

>>Subject: The Birk Economic Recovery Plan
>>
>>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 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,

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