An alternative to the bailout at half price

Here's a bailout! Only $350 billion.

Give $1 billion to each American that 1) paid income tax the last three years on annual income of $150,000 or less; 2) nongovernment workers, except emergency personnel, police, fire; 3) all veterans.

Tax the above a one-time lifetime tax of $200 million and leave us alone.

Immigrants from around the world can have our jobs, with only a physical and background check and also become an American citizen.

Politicians, unionized public workers, failed and greedy executives, oil speculators, Wall Street, whatever you want to call them, etc. - It's your turn to sacrifice, support and save our country, we're tired.

Signed, Middle Class America.
