you guys read this about the 'bail out'?
 

some interesting number... hey math guys.. are they right? -bmb
----

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 Bona fide 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 billion 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.

But wouldn't you still wind up in debt? it would benefit the people who don't need it.I picture large black mens running around smokin crack

I got a feeling that if everyone 18+ in the US got 300K all at once you'd probably find that a gallon of milk suddenly costs 500 bucks.

where is this money comming from?

i mean you might as well make it a zillion dollars per head when the paper its printed on is worth more

so what's the plan then? give all the moola to 5-6 guys?

if we are fantasizing, they decide to do the mortgage free program and all tax paying citizens with mortgages will now be paid off by the fed. Now all that money used for paying mortgages will be free to be spent which creates jobs etc and etc.

Nobody would be buying milk.

They'd buy Dom.

Hey math whiz... $85,000,000,000 divided by 200,000,000 = $425.

probably America is in trouble because the bankers had your math skills...

85,000,000,000 / 200,000,000 = 425 USD , not 425,000

LMAO, great plan, yo

...rofl :)

I read something like this at Luke Ford last night I think. The math doesn't add up. I think they were calling it porno math?

Obama is a muslim.

Your math and your reasoning are both way off.

i hope you really don't think that is the case.

but i REALLY hope you do not get your financial crisis information from asking questions such as this on adult message boards.

There's no more cash in the US. They borrowed from China to go to Iraq. They sold the highway/interstate system to Spain. Now they're just wholesale printing money to bail out the crooks who screwed the system and lined their bulging pockets.

if the US government were a character in a movie they'd be the Joker in The Dark Knight.

They call it a bail out, but it's just nationalization and government "intrusion" like this administration has been preaching against forever.

Pretty soon countries like Canada and China are going to be outsourcing to call centers in the US.

:D

see what i mean?

Do you have a East Indian accent?

Seems to me we are rewarding the companies that are screwing us. Like everyone else, I'm upside down on my mortgage.....

those americans who are uniformed- please! educate yourselves on this situation.

we are all fucked..

Im on my condo board 28 units and we are suing 6 for unpayment. The management company guy said expect it to get worse.

did you read what I wrote dipshit? I didn't do the math, I got this as an email. I wrote "hey math guys is this right? remeber that part of the post moron?

read my post dumb ass. I didn;t do the math. I asked if it was right. I'm a photographer moron, not a math wiz

yes we are bringing all the crap jobs back home!!! you go bush!!

I was just curious about the math... I'm not an accountant. I use a calculator for everything. and it sure the fuck doesn't do billions :)

Yea... like they gave credit cards to the Katrina people and the went and bought rims for their cars and Gucci purses. Some even spent the money in strip clubs.
