We Deserve It Dividend Tongue in cheek, but like many ideas listed on Snopes.com, it's fun to see how folks believe everything they read on the Internet (my relatives not withstanding). In summary, it's the idea that we take the $85 billion bailout of AIG, divide it by 200,000 (est.) taxpayers in the use, and they'll each get $425 thousand each. (Hint: The math's off by a several orders of magnitude - in the wrong direction.)
