I got this from a friend this morning:

Did you get your 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 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 fruits and vegetables it will go to Honduras and Guatemala .
If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan .
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 , since those
are the only businesses left owned by Americans !!

I think I’m having a garage sale soon ;-).
Let me know when you get your check!!

Personally, I think we have some bills to pay and we are hoping to buy a propane stove to keep us warm next winter!

I hope this gives you a few more ideas on how to spend your check!
