How to use Your IRS Rebate Check
As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each of us would get a 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 fruit 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 crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy .
We need to keep that money here in America. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales since those are the only businesses still in the US.

I liked Dave Barry's take on the economic stimulus package;
Be sure to mail your return in a timely manner, because this year, filing 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.

I plan on using it (in part) to bail ourselves out of our mortgage crisis. Also serious.

To show the insanity of our government I will explain my mother's rebate. She died last October. My brother filed her final tax return last month. Yup! she gets a rebate! Bob
