Lots of people send out or make these types of fake urband ledgen type stuff.  Most people just take it for granted and don't check stuff out.
The internet is full of this type crap. One can say or write anything they want.  Well even the new is full of half truths by making something seem one way or the other by editing stuff.  You can see that everyday. For news editing is a powerfull tool.

I tried dividing 85000 million (which makes billion) by 200 million and all my
calculator gets is $425/person. 
I've tried it several times, using an Excel spreadsheet and by reverse counting; I.e.
multiply 200 million by 100 and I get 20 billion.  So the math doesn't work out as Birk
describes.  Although the concept seems appropriate.  However $425 per person won't
amount to much wealth creation.

This is brilliant--I had not heard of this before.  This guy should at least get nominated for a Nobel Prize in economics.  Even if the numbers are skewed a little, the point is well made.  Let's face it, the economy only works when money is circulating--it must change hands.  Spending is to be encouraged--within your means.  Read on...

Subject: The Birk Economic Recovery Plan



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.


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 Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned

instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for a laugh
or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use
$85 Billion!!




P.P.S.  Even if the number is 250 million adults, the share is $340,000 gross each!!!

           ($238,000 net after that estimated 30% federal tax rate)
           Your state and local governments will want 'their share' too, but think of all
           the pre-financed public works projects that could get done.  More jobs!
           Repave streets and upgrade utilities--that needs labor, and equipment and materials.
           This is way better than 'trickle-down' economics--it would be 'tidal wave' economics!
           Make sure the $25 billion that goes right back to Uncle Sam gets used for debt                    reduction.
 
PPPS--I heard on the radio that the total of all recent and potential near-term bailouts may reach $500 billion.  Put another way, half-a-trillion dollars.  Or 500,000 million!
