I received this as an email; it’s kind of funny but there is a lot of truth in it.
How to use Your IRS Rebate check…
As you may have heard, each of us will be getting a tax rebate check to stimulate the economy.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruits and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless stuff it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America to strengthen our economy, so the best way to spend it is on prostitutes and beer, the only truly functional businesses still in the U.S.
