I was not in favor of the Stimulus Package, but that’s beside the point. We have it, my question or suggestion is to our elected officials. The government “bailout”…..  “referred to as a Loan,” that we the people; me, you and our elected officials, we all have in fact a stock/ownership position in GM, The Banking Industry, and Wall Street brokerages firms.  That is what the purchase of “stock” represents a “value” of the company’s “overall value.”  Then why not return, to all the Taxpayers, our dollars that made it possible to fund the transaction that purchased “stock, loan instruments, or securities?”  The Federal Government is holding some instruments that collateralize “The Bailout Loans” with these companies.  Therefore, as we continue to pay our income taxes, that we the taxpayer receive “stock-mutual funds-securities” in exchange. As every dollar goes into the federal coffers (stock, mutual fund, security) goes to we the people.  Thus allow we the taxpayer that funded the loans become the ones to receive the benefits of ownership in rebuilding the American Dream.  Would the higher taxed incomes receive more shares?  Absolutely, the model for this has already worked in The United States, World War II with “War Bonds;” much in the same way during the war did the wealth buy more bonds?  Sure they did, they where investing in their country’s freedom, just as 60 years ago.  The “Great Depression” ended with the war, our economy today will recover much quicker with the American People seeing themselves and their child as Stockholders in The American Dream.  Last, if you owned your own business wouldn’t you buy from yourself?  The American People have ownership not only their own business, but their future looks brighter as we continue to see our business grow.
