Your Tax Rebate Check Is In The Mail....
Your Tax Rebate:
The federal government is sending each and everyone of
us a $600 rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, 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.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy
prostitutes, weed, beer, and tattoos, since these are
the only products still produced in the USA .
Thank you for your help and please support the United
States of America.

[SIZE=3]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 Walmart, all the money will go to China.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]If we purchase a computer it will go to India .[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]If we purchase fruits and vegetables it will go to Honduras, and Guatumala. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]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 . The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales[/SIZE][SIZE=3] , since those are the only businesses left owned by Americans !!

Since China is kind enough to loan the U.S. gov't the money to pay for the rebate checks, it would be very inconsiderate not to go to Wal*Mart and spend your rebate on stuff from China.
