[BITList] Letter to the Treasurer

[John Feltham]

G'day Mr Swan,

Put me down to receive the first payment please.

Dear Mr.Swan,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing  Australia 's economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to banks that will squander the  
money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them  $1 million each severance for early retirement with the  
following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Ten million job openings - Unemployment fixed

2) They MUST buy a new Australian car. Ten million cars ordered - Car  
Industry fixed

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off! Their mortgage - Housing  
Crisis fixed

4) They MUST send their kids to school/TAFE/university - Crime rate  
fixed

5) They MUST buy $100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week ......and  
there's your money back in duty/tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back  
their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. If  
not, please disregard.

Yours sincerely,

The Whole Country
