This explanation of the Tax Rebate Checks is apparently from Dave Barry, but it sounds like me talking to my family at the dinner table last night. I wish I could get paid for telling jokes.
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.
Unfortunately, it’s not just a joke, it’s true. Protect yourself. Go to Casey Research and read everything they’ve got.
Then act on it.
