80 BILLION DIVIDED BY 200 MILLION EQUALS $425 each! (Not $425,000)!

This sounds like a really great plan. To bad no one will take it seriously
I’m against the $85 BILLION 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 bona fide
U.S. citizens, aged 18+.

Our population is about 301 million counting every man, woman , and
child.

So, 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.

Now, divide 200 million, 18+ adults into $85 billion – that equals
$425,000.00 each! ?

Yes, my plan is to give that $425,000 to every adult as a ‘We Deserve It’ dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So, let’s assume a tax rate of
30%. Everyone would pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25.5 billion right back to Uncle Sam! It also means that
every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife would have $595,000.00!

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00?

* Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved

* Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads

* Put away money for college – it’ll really 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 ?Parents ?to come clean – or else

I’m just wondering if it’s trouble in math that caused this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs
