Kick Start America

On February 13, 2009, Congress passed a colossal stimulus package. But on March 1, the Dow fell below 7,000, the lowest since March of 1997. The government’s unprecedented measures have so far not helped stem the deterioration of the economy. Things are going from bad to worse. It’s time for citizens to band together and turn the tide.
There is no underlying logical or physical cause for this situation. There is no dustbowl, nor is there an oil embargo. Commodity prices are low again. There have been some natural disasters, but nothing that would cause a meltdown of epic proportions. No plague, no famine, nothing. Factories are closed and skilled workers are sitting idle at home for no reason other than that the financial system has ground to a halt.
This is nothing but a crisis of confidence, pure and simple. The only reason the economy is not doing well is because everyone is scared out of their wits. It’s a vicious cycle.
Consequently, the way to save the economy is to restore confidence. The government tried to do that, but had to borrow mind-boggling amounts of money. That caused everyone to just worry even more.
Let’s kickstart the American economy. On KickStart Day, we’ll all buy a few shares worth about $20, in companies listed in the New York Stock Exchange. Because a huge number of citizens will be taking part, the effect will be profound. Stock prices will rise. As soon as stocks start rising, other investors will start buying in.

You’ll help kickstart the economy for just a few bucks, and as the economy gains strength, those few bucks will turn into hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The best part of joining is that you won’t lose any money, because the shares you buy will rise in value.
