Well I have had a couple friends point out how this plans numbers are a little off ( by hundreds of thousands 
). Thanks for taking the time to bring this to my attention. Either way it was the concept that I liked. Maybe we should send this idea to Google and they could finance to the campaign to make it happen?

Hello everyone. I want to apologize for the lack of blogging on my part. Finding out that my Mother has cancer was a big hit on me and it still is. I will talk more about this in my future posts. But for now I want to share a solution that was passed around the Internet yesterday. I’m sure once you read this you will agree with what he is saying.
Whoever T. J. Birkenmeier is, I sincerely salute him.
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.

Republic
I vote T.J Birkenmeier for president!

I have lots to blog about but it will have to be put on hold. I found out that my mom has cancer so I will be a little absent from my blog for a bit. When I return I will have plenty to post.
Cheers
