		This year,  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.
   
   Below is some  helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus  check wisely:
If you spend  that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China .
If you spend  it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If you  purchase a computer it will go to India .
If you  purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala  (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a  car it will go to Japan .
If you  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 . You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard  sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer and wine  (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the  US
