If every U.S. citizen received a bill in the amount of $28,218 tomorrow, do you think it would make a difference? Or should there be brackets like with the income tax?

1. Oh brackets, definitely |
|
Rich, Republican, Bush voters can make up the brackets. The rest of us don't have to pay anything!

3. Maybe if every citizen really did receive a bill like that |
|
for every member of their family some of these asshole numbskulls would wake up.

4. Only tell them a few weeks later that it was only to make a point. |
|
That would shock 'em pretty well.

5. There's nothing wrong with having some national debt. |
|
As a matter of fact, the US Treasury Market is so vital to the functioning of the global economy that there must be some debt. However, we are probably at least a couple trillion too heavy.

6. People don't seem to care at all about the national debt |
|
It's sad, but it's the truth

10. Well, since that is more than we get in a year- no. |
|
Please forward my bill to someone more able to pay it, say some of those folks living in the gated communities in SoCal.

12. the way I figure it, there are about 12,000 people who each owe a trillion |
|
and another 30 or 40 million who belong in jail or mental hospitals.
The rest of us get to divvy up the difference.
