Just in Case You Get a Cheque....

Just in Case You Get a Cheque....

Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive an Economic Stimulus payment i.e HST rebate.  This is a very exciting program from the Ontario  government.

I'll explain it using the Q and A format:
--------------------------------------------------------------- 
Q.  What is  Ontario 's Economic Stimulus payment?A.  It is money that the provincial 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 for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.Q.  But isn't that stimulating the economy of Asia?A.  Shut up or you don't get your cheque.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the Canadian economy by spending your stimulus cheque wisely:     

1.  If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, your money will go to  China  .
2.  If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to  Saudi Arabia  .
3.  If you purchase a computer, it will go to  India  .
4.  If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico,  Honduras  or  Guatemala
5.  If you buy a car, it will go to  Japan  or  Korea  .
6.  If you purchase useless plastic stuff, it will go to  Taiwan  .
7.  If you pay off your credit cards, or buy stock, it will go to pay management  bonuses and be hidden in offshore accounts.

Or, you can keep the money in   Canada by:

1.   spending it at yard sales or flea markets, or  
2.   going to baseball or football games, or  
3.   hiring prostitutes, or  
4.   buying cheap beer or  
5.   getting tattoos.
These are the only wholly-owned businesses still operating in  Canada .

Conclusion: The best way to stimulate the economy is to go to a ball game with a prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day until you're drunk enough to go get tattooed.
