When was the last time what a politician said during an election match what he/she did once in washington?!? They are few and rare. Most of the time, the get elected by saying they are against gay marriage, because *** will destroy the family unit and turn your kids gay.

When this latest mess (Bailout Proposal)was announced, I emailed all my elected officials and expressed my thoughts. Apparently, others did as well. Somebody listened. There''s not an elected official that doesn''t know the vast majority of taxpayers think this bailout plan stinks. It''s failure will not lead to "Financial Destruction of the Masses".

How curious that posters on a network news website, with their VAST access to the latest financial information, experience in government, and their EXTENSIVE knowledge of the stock market and banking are convinced that THEY have the perfect solution to the economic crisis. Guess Congress should get in touch with those here who just KNOW that they have the answer to the crisis.....

I have seen not one post of a solution to this Bush made problem. I have seen alot of SARCASM, but I guess that is wasted on redumplicans.

You misunderstand my sarcasm. Posted by frankie2fing at 10:33 AM : Sep 26, 2008

Sorry. :) I know which side you are on. It feels odd to be advocating for Republicans, but I don''t want to give up on that party just because some corrupted people represent it at the moment.

Respectfully.

Sometimes on a bad night, I want McCain elected so that the American people can see once and for all that Republicans cannot make America a Utopia.

Great idea, problem is, 4 years of McSame we will be all slaves, the top 5% will own 95% of the wealth.

There aren''t many folks left that Bush HASN''T sold out.

McCain will have to deal with all this mess if he gets elected. Bush is leaving the mess for whomever gets elected. I have never thought the Republican party as bad, its the Bush Administration that is deadly corrupt.

Sometimes on a bad night, I want McCain elected so that the American people can see once and for all that Republicans cannot make America a Utopia. Republicans see a necessary half of the issues of a society: the free market, development, the traditions of family and God. Liberals see the other half of necessary issues: social justice and environment and future planning.

Our founders knew...it is in the compromise of the two parties that makes this country prosper and thrive for everyone. One party is never 100% wrong nor is the other party 100% right. America is built on the two-party 50/50 principle and it still works.

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!

Not because it the right thing to do, but because they are running for re-election.

Uh, isn''''t that why they''''re "elected" to "represent" their constituents.

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.

[mymtldme1]

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.

SORRY!! Allow me to correct my typo. Some industries should never be deregulated--banks and pharm come to mind. Thank you for seeing that--too bad you didn''''t read the rest in context and realize I must have left out the prefix. :)

I re-read your post, it still sounds the same as my 1st thought. That you wanted de-regulation of the banking, Big Pharma, and the health care system.

I guess you should have re-worded your whole post if meant something entirely different;)
