I’m against the $85 billion bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85 billion to American citizens in a “We Deserve It” dividend.
To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200 million bonafide U.S. Citizens of 18 years of age or over. Our population is about 301 million +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200 million might be a fair stab at the number of adults 18 and up. You divide 200 million adults into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00 per person.
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 $25.5 billion right back to Uncle Sam, but it 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 in your family?

If you’re like me you spend countless hours slaving away your life in a cube. In my case I don’t even have the luxury of windows…I work in a closet…literally. Of course this actually saves me from all the annoying habits of my fellow office rats.
This is too true to be funny.
I love bumper stickers. I would never put one on my own vehicle but I certainly appreciate all the people out there who are willing to be a mobile reading station for my pleasure.
Yeah, thats right. Fuck Billy Ray Cyrus too. If you think there is ever a good reason, big or small, to take semi nude pictures of a 15 year old girl for the express purpose of disseminating them to the public at large….FUCK YOU TOO. From where I’m sitting, taking semi nude pictures or any pictures that in any way induce sexual imagery of a 15 year old is totally reprehensible. Bunch of fuck sticks.
