FEDERAL REBATE CHECK (A MUST READ)

[liberal N proud]

spinbaby says this needed it's own post...


This from an email I just recieved...

The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate.
If we spend it at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline, the money 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 the money here at home is to spend it on 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 US

1. You could spend it at a locally owned business.

Me, I'm paying off loans.

[Occulus]

38. I did that.

Car window. Rolls down now- $420 later.

:grr:

I was going to pay off my CC and budget an upgrade to my PC, or a new one. That's not happening now.....

3. prostitutes, weed, beer, and tattoos,

:think:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. I spent mine

this way--doctor's visits (which supported local MD)
yard sales and thrift stores (which supported local economy)
donating to progressive Democrats running for the House (which supports US)

[daa]

9. I spent mine on the doctor

and he bought a new BMW and sent my money to Germany.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

21. My doctor runs a non-profit

and buys used cars and basically lives a poverty lifestyle in order to help indigent patients.

[krkaufman]

36. Kudos to your doc.

Any chance that he/she is in the Chicago area?

[Indenturedebtor]

5. Bwahaha sad but true

Hey we make porn and wheat too :P

[Hydra]

6. Bwhahaha!

:rofl:

I can buy some local products in my area, but I would be happy to buy the things from your list if I had any leftover after paying back bills :evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

7. Well, I'm willing to do my part

:patriot:

Bring on the ho's!

[Kaleko]

39. Inspirational.

I vow to keep the local weed dealer afloat!

:patriot:

[Eurobabe]

11. What I loved

Was the head of the treasury advising Americans to buy US produced goods..

They are so clueless about what they have done to the US economy . They actually believe we still produce things .

We paid off a loan with ours.

[Schema Thing]

12. in that order, I assume?

[elocs]

13. Since I am currently out of work, I put my rebate to good use.

My $600 was enough to pay my rent and utilities for a month as well as making a month's car payment. I don't think I stimulated the economy much, though.

[qb]

14. Mine went to whatever country owns my mortgage. nt

[spanone]

15. not each and every one....i will not receive one

[formercia]

16. I gave my wife the stimulus check

and she blew it all in one shot.

[appleannie1]

17. We never got ours because of a glitch on our 1040

We have filed a 1040X but were told they might run out of money before we get our check.

[jakem]

18. sorry, i am partial to imported prostitutes!

:hi:

[sweettater]

19. When I receive mine

it will go to my grandson's college tuition fund. :bounce:

[HughMoran]

20. That's funny

in a cynical sort of way... :D

[truebrit71]

22. Amen!!! If I win a million dollars I'm gonna spend half of it on hookers and whiskey...the rest?

I'll just blow that on something frivilous...

[sarcasmo]

23. I guess strippers falls into the money here at home category.

[MadinMo]

24. Filled the propane tank with part of ours

to the tune of $527+. Propane is $2.199/gallon right now and I have no faith it will get cheaper. EVER.

The balance will go to paying off an evil credit card and purchasing repair materials for our siding.

Whoopee! I feel better now.

Well actually I do about the propane tank --- even though it was expensive. I dreaded that.

[RB TexLa]

25. Or you could refrain from being bigoted toward non-Americans and spend it how you please.

[underpants]

26. If you give it to a prostitute isn't it probably going to end up in beer and tattoos???

I posted this a about a month ago. I thought it was very funny.

[liberal N proud]

27. Recycled incentive check

That is about right though

[yella_dawg]

28. How did this writer know

what I'm spending my check on?

Spooky...

[Mme. Defarge]

29. Haven't gotten mine yet, don't know why.

:shrug:

[Hissyspit]

40. Go to www.irs.gov

You can find the mailing/direct deposit schedule their under Frequently Asked Questions.

30. Unfortunately, these days, it would buy only 2 oz of mediocre cannabis.

[Javaman]

31. Invest it in Euros or gold. nt

[DRoseDARs]

32. "The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate." I've mine right here...

...it says $300.

i can haz FALE?

[sinkingfeeling]

33. First off, the federal government is NOT sending each and every one $600. Some

people in the lower income brackets got only $300 and lots of us, middle class taxpayers, got none because we had income over $75,000.

[liberal N proud]

34. And second?

You said first, just wondered what was second

I realize that not everyone got a check. Ours went straight to a savings account. I remember last time he gave us one of these "rebates" it was basically a loan on next years taxes. Be prepared.

[Kablooie]

35. So they weren't scandals. The Republicans were just helping the economy the only way they knew.

[Firespirit]

37. Mine is going to Wilmington, Delaware.
