One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut.
After the cut he asks about his bill and the barber replies, ‘I
cannot accept money from you.
I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist is pleased
and leaves the shop.
When the barber goes to open his shop the next
morning there is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting
for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his
bill, the barber again replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you.
I’m doing community service this week.’ The cop is happy and
leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber goes to open up
there is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at
his door.

Then, a Congressman comes in for a haircut, and when

Distribute this widely — esp. to your Senators and Congressmen –Maybe the American populace will win after all.

THIS guy wins my vote.

“I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to American citizens 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 and over. 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. If you divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon – ta da! -that equals $425,000.00 per adult.

**********

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 AND the banks.

**********

Put away money for college – it’ll be there, safe in a bank – creating money to loan to entrepreneurs.

**********

Buy a new car – pump up the flagging automotive industry.

**********

Invest in the market – capital drives growth.

**********

Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – the health care system is crashing.

**********

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else.

“Life is like climbing a mountain
There are changes in direction,
challenges and plateaus
Those plateaus give you a chance to rest,
reflect, and plan the next stage of the climb
But in life, many people stay at the plateau…
and think that’s all there is
It’s okay to take time to look down the mountain,
to see what you’ve already done in your…

Career, Personal Life, and Community
But instead of settling at the plateau…
decide to Be Better…

[1] Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving.

[2] Having one child makes you a parent; having two you are a referee.

[3] Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband!

[4] I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried - but they wanted cash.

[5] Don’t feel bad. A lot of people have no talent.

[6] Don’t marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without, but whatever you do, you’ll regret it later.

[7] You can’t buy love, but you pay heavily for it.

[8] Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.

[9] Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

[10] Marriage is give and take. You’d better give it to her or she’ll take it anyway.

[11] My wife and I always compromise. I admit I’m wrong and she agrees with me.

[12] Those who can’t laugh at themselves leave the job to others.

[13] Ladies first. Pretty ladies sooner.

Slap Happy News…..Just For Laughs!
Retired Friends:

Working people frequently ask retired people…..what they do to make…their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day Gladys and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about…5…minutes . When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said…
“Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?” He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi. Read More
