This has been ciruclating around the Internet the last few days.
Please promise me that if you receive it you will return it to the sender with the following note:
1. We are not a socialist country - you are supposed to work for what you get - and if most Americans got $425,000 they would run down to the Mercedes dealer anyway - not put it in their kids' tuition fund.
2. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, $85 billion divided by $200 million is $425 - not $425,000 (simple math: 1 billion divided by 200 million = 5, 5 times 85 = 425 -- fortunately, there are still a few Americans left who can do that math in their heads).
I suspect someone from China made this up and put it on the Internet to show us how stupid and gullible we Americans have become. (Why else would Americans be so charged up about Obama - as a country we don't ask questions, we don't dig just one layer deeper - we just fall for the sound bites.)
