Why don't they just ask every single person to send in $2333.00 now. This way it won't get passed on to the children and it won't incur interest.

Maybe they should just say, "whoops, folks, send us back those economic stimulus checks." I've read on several economics blogs that the real reason for the bailout is that the Fed is about to freeze up too. Capital running out with all these rescue schemes.

Allow me to carefully consider your request, Paulson.
No.

Not a problem. I can write the check tonight! LOL But something tells me they will come looking more....... like some alcoholic brother in law.

You could do like Truman and Eisenhower did with WWII debts. They had this strange little word for it. What was that? Oh, yeah, "sacrifice". What was that all about, anyway?

Note that the top marginal tax rate through those years was 91%. Eyes opened yet?

It's not that many people paid near 91%. Rather, it meant that the corporate executive types were strongly encouraged toward sane salaries and reinvesting in their businesses, rather than padding their already insane bank accounts. That's the story of what happened between Gilded Age I and Gilded Age II.

When we went to Iraq, where was the slightest, tiniest, request for sacrifice? Where?

Yeah. This $700 billion group gift just seems to classless. Can't I just buy a Rolex for a banker and call it good?
