Subject: I Love This Plan

This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.
The Business Section asked readers for ideas on “How Would You Fix the Economy?”

I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President:

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander
the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the
following stipulations:

  1. They MUST retire. Forty million job openings -
    Unemploymentfixed.

  2. They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered -
    Auto Industry fixed.

  3. They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -
    Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!

If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and their constituents pay their taxes…

Where do we come up with 40 trillion dollars?

3

fuck

4

40 million * 1 million /= 40 million

Our entire M2 money supply which includes all of the money in bank accounts, is $8 trillion.

And im pretty sure this is an old repost. Stick to pr0n man.

I would fix your math first before the economy.

7

The same way the fed has been doing it all along, just print more.

8

I wonder if it was printed in the paper and if anyone called them on the 40 trillion dollars? I got the whole thing in an email today and didn’t even catch that.

9

The world needs more boobs. That’ll fix the economy. Spence, YOU can help with this!

Flat Tax.

As in a tax for flat chicks? IN.

12

forced early retirement in exchange for $10k? no thanks

13

Fat chicks are included in this as well

and fat, flat chicks get double taxation.

Wow…this was first posted back in june. I received the email today from a friend saying this is something new. Maybe she sent it to me in june by pony express and i’m just now getting it.

Being the keyword there… everyone knows women aint allowed on the internetz and they CERTAINLY shouldnt be discussing economics.

I posted it as a joke in april, so even older :smiley:

it would only be 20 trillion. the other 20 trillion would go right back to the government in taxes.

Soooo you small it down, give everyone 500,000 after taxes it only costs the government 10 trillion. plus the taxes paid on the home, and new car, plus all new purchases.

It could work, in theory.
