Omg It Didn't Pass!

Quote from mxjones:

85 billion divided by 200 million is 425 per person, not 425,000.

Tool.

Quote from gregg degraff:

Check out the Math!!


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
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 $425,0 00 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 Family plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned
instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

wow, i think you should run for office.

what an idiot. can't do simple math and u want 300k from the govt.

most idiots wouldn't pay off their loans even if they did, they would finance even more unaffordable luxurious lifestyles.

and they wouldnt do that, inflation would jump up.

but seriously, learn some math first. you need that to be an avg. trader.
 
I'm surprised, I thought the votes were there to pass it. The article I just read said that when the Dems saw there was not going to be enough Repub votes, some of them switched as well in order to save their seats. That tells me that they are indeed listnening to their constituents on this one.

Does anybody here have the rules on how they start the vote again?
 
Boy, this is getting interesting. What terms are they going to modify to get this thing to pass? Are they going to have to go to the private sector for a bailout? How many more institutions can JP Morgan, B of A or Berkshire buy?

I really can't think of any way they can get this bill to appeal to Main Street, they are going to have to find a way to ram it down our throats.
 
He didn't fuck up his math, he just cut n pasted something that has been going around the internet for a few days now. He just didn't read it before he pasted it.
