The "Birk Economic Recovery Plan"

Charlie — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:04:00 GMT

I mentioned this nutty e-mail I got this morning that actually kind of makes sense...

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. This even takes care of the AIG employees that lose their job. What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

•   Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved. If you had insurance from AIG, now you have the money to replace it with a more stable company.
•   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. And theoretically with the boost to the economy most of these people would be more productive and pay enough in additional taxes over a 5 to 10 year period to repay the $59.5 Billion. Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

"Shirley Hankins"

Gia Rules

Gia answers the phones and sends out prizes here at FNX. You may have talked to her if you've ever picked up tickets here at the station.

Some jackass Silly-stringed our cars this morning. Gia took my poor car to Sonnys on 1A and had it detailed. It hasn't looked this good since it left the lot in '93.

Thanks Gia! You're the best!
