|
|
My daughter sent me this so I thought I woudl share it.
Stimulus Payment Information
This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus
Payment.
This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.S. economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:
If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China .
If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India.
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan.
If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.
And none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America . You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game,
Or spend it on prostitutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US .

| I got that one too.
I'm doing my patriotic duty to stimulate the economy this week. I had to buy a new furnace  and pay property taxes  I am also upgrading my aquarium as it's getting to small for the current tenets who pay no rent and are subsidized by me. We are also thinking about evicting the dog, who also pays no rent, because she tears up her "apartment" is loud late at night, harasses our other tenet "the cat" and craps all over my yard. lol!

You've got to get rid of those socialist pets.
How old was your olad furnace? Maybe the new one will be more fuel efficent and pay for itself. It might take a few years though. Mine's 15 years old and i think it's on it's way out. |

Our old one was a converted coal burner, it's getting replaced with a nice shiny new 90%er  |
