Think this protest will help?

here is the chain e-mail i got:
There’s a storm a-brewin’. What happens when good, responsible people keep quiet? Washington has forgotten they work for us. We don’t work for them. Throwing good money after bad is NOT the answer. I am sick of the midnight, closed door sessions to come up with a plan. I am sick of Congress raking CEO’s over the coals while they, themselves, have defaulted on their taxes. I am sick of the bailed out companies having lavish vacations and retreats on my dollar. I am sick of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people that, knowingly, bought more house than they could afford. I am sick of being made to feel it is my patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes. I, like all of you, am a responsible citizen. I pay my taxes. I live on a budget and I don’t ask someone else to carry the burden for poor decisions I may make. I have emailed my congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package as it was written without reading it first. No one listened. They voted for it, pork and all.

Okay, folks, here it is. You may think you are just one voice and what you think won’t make a difference. Well, yes, it will and YES, WE CAN!! If you are disgusted and angry with the way Washington is handling our taxes ~ If you are fearful of the fallout from the reckless spending of BILLIONS to bailout and “stimulate” without accountability and responsibility, then we need to become ONE, LOUD VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB AND HOME IN AMERICA. There is a growing protest to demand that Congress, the President and his cabinet. LISTEN to us, the American Citizens. What is being done in Washington is NOT the way to handle the economic free fall.

So, here’s the plan. On April 1, 2009, all Americans are asked to send a TEA BAG to Washington , D.C. You do not have to enclose a note or any other information unless you so desire. Just a TEA BAG. Many cities are organizing protests. If you simply search, “New American Tea Party”, several sites will come up. If you aren’t the ‘protester’ type, simply make your one voice heard with a TEA BAG. Your one voice will become a roar when joined with millions of others that feel the same way. Yes, something needs to be done but the lack of confidence as shown by the steady decline in the stock market speaks volumes.

This was not my idea. I visited the sites of the ‘New American Tea Party’ and an online survey showed over 90% of thousands said they would send the tea bag on April 1. Why April 1? We want them to reach Washington by April 15. Will you do it? I will.

Send it to: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington , D.C. 20500

With the recent hubbub about the Re-elect Obama in 2012 Act - I mean the Great Depression Act of 2009 - it would be a rare find indeed to have a show air where eco-politics and liberty is debated in a serious fashion.

The show will never go live unless there is some support for it, so if you like it please feel free to join the Facebook group “Fans of Fox’s Freedom Watch That Want To See it on the Air” or better yet send a quick email to FOX at yourcomments@foxnews.com

Who knows? Perhaps the rEVOLution can finally hit the mainstream media and Americans can start realizing that there is no easy “bailout” this time around. When Obama’s “100 Days” honeymoon finally ends, it may result in an awakening for a few more converts for liberty, freedom, prosperity, and free markets.

Do you want to email Fox News and show some support for it?

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+
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
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. 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 goback 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!! How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion Dividend ! I do!
We Deserve It more than 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.
OMG! I was so excited about the idea that I never even thought to do any math and see if it was accurate! Thanks, Y’all!

[text below of the email I just sent to my US Senator]

Dear Senator:

It is unfair to bailout the banks that made bad loans unless the country receives compensation similar to the AIG case — 11.35% interest and an 80% voting preferred stock interest in the firm and the right to replace the managers. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Some in Congress may claim that if we bail out the banks, we also have to bailout the borrowers on these bad loans. That would also be unfair.

It would be unfair to everyone who doesn’t have such a loan. This includes every renter in Miami who couldn’t buy a house or wouldn’t lie to do so. It includes every senior citizen who owns her home free and clear. It includes every citizen in places where home prices never got out of hand and so their payments never became excessive. And it includes everyone who already lost that house to foreclosure.

In short, bailing out the home buyers would be unfair to the majority of Americans. Either our taxes or inflation would go up to pay for their mistakes.

And it wouldn’t even fix the housing markets. Housing markets won’t be fixed until prices come down enough that ordinary workers in places like Miami can afford to buy a house. That hasn’t happened yet and if America subsidizes all these over priced houses, it won’t happen for many more years.

Here’s what would be fair if politics says we have to bailout home buyers — every American gets the same treatment once in their lifetime. We cap the amount of the bailout at some figure, say 20% of the price of the house, and then every American gets the same benefit — the government pays 20% of the cost of them buying a house. [It would be like getting a free down payment.]

Somewhat obviously, they’d have to properly qualify for the remaining loan on the house and this would limit the size and cost they could afford. Senior citizens who own their home outright could trade their benefit for either a lifetime benefit paying 20% of their property taxes, insurance, and upkeep, or a cash payment equal to 20% of the tax assessor’s 2007 value on their property.

We need you to fight for fairness in this whole mess because it sure looks like America is about to reward only a select few for taking foolish risks.

thank you for your time today and for representing the interests of the majority of Americans, and Floridians, in this matter.

Best regards,

[MBA/CPA. I began working in banking in 1970 and have seen repeated real estate lending booms and busts. This may be the worst one of a long string of them, although I can't remember the one during the Great Depression.]

Bic Plan:

I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 ($85 Billion) bailout of AIG.

Instead, I’m in favor of the Bic Plan which gives the $85,000,000,000 to America in a ‘Who Better Dividend’.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 legitimate 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 Who Better 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 ($25 Billion) right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife would have $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 goin g 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 Bic 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 alon g 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!!
