    There is a problem with the OP though. Do the math, it actually equals to a mere $3,500 a person, not $425,000 a person. The person who started that email is an uneducated commie.

    The funny thing about this post is not that the math is wrong, but that the original email was ranting about the $85,000,000,000 bailout of AIG. Someone edited the email to change the $85,000,000,000 to the new $700,000,000,000 total bailout amount. They did not even think to fix the math, just change the numbers to make it sound like we were all getting so screwed out of money.

    85B/200M = $425.00 <---You can see where the original math was screwed up.
    700B/200M = $3,500.00
