Seeing how no one likes any of the proposed plans for a "bailout", I was thinking on my way home from work how I'd like to see it done...
Now, even though I'm not in the States, the same general principle can be used, since Japan is facing the same problem, and using the same method (as the U.S.) to try and solve it, yet I don't see the logic in it (the proposal from the Japan side).
My proposal would be to take everyone's salary tax and cut it between 15% and 50%.
Why? Well when I saw how much is already taken out of my salary and wondering where it all is really being used for (outside of corrupted projects), I would like to see less taken out of my paycheck so more can either go into my bank or my pocket.
The "Bailout" plan is a one-time payment, which would be similar to buying a house or an expensive car with cash, rather than payments! I think this method would be too hard of a percussion on parts of the gov. to be able to handle operations of public functions when they are further in the red.
Also, with this "Bailout" Plan they offer in Japan, I don't see a measley $100 helping me out in any way at all..its like taking a $100 off my taxes for one month, and then back to the monthly payments after that. It doesn't seem too different than what I've already seen offered in the States, right?
In this day-and-age, there are many corporations who are cutting the salarys of upper management to keep expenditures down, why can't the burocrats that get paid so darn much take the same cut? And, they can take their expensive guzzler cars in for a trade-in.
Theoretically, by taking less from everyone's salary, it would force the gov. to tighten their budgets more since they won't see that money coming in for a while.
I would propose this "discount tax relief" to be from a period of 6 months to a year, with the idea that it would put some relief on consumers who are willing to spend and those who are still working to still be able to.
During this time, the gov. would be working hard to get everyone back together, since by doing so would get their income back to where it was before this all began...if they really wanna "Bail out" and save the economy.
I'm sure there's some downfalls to this idea (I'm not a Public Servant or even have an Accounting Degree, just your average worker) so perhaps there are even those who totally oppose it, but it was a thought that I felt was worth sharing, since I thought I might get a 50/50 response.
