Tax Rebate Humor

Tax Rebate

This morning President Bush said each one of us would get a $1200.00 tax rebate. It was previously slated to be $1400.00, but they dropped it to a $1200.00 tax rebate because of various budget problems.

Now, if we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China, if we spend it on computers, most of the money will go to Korea or India. If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs ... and none of these scenarios will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America .. so the only way to keep that money here at home is to drink beer, gamble, or spend it on prostitution. Currently it seems that these are the only businesses still left in the U.S

Who will pay, who will receive, the taxes on that spending and revenue? Doesn't Walmart collect and remit state sales taxes? Do gasoline tax receipts go overseas?

You could also contribute your rebate back to Bureau of the Public Debt (Department G), thereby assuring the money is staying in the country of origin, and take a charitable itemized deduction to boot...

I'm ROTFLOL after that one...

If you lower your standards, the going rate of $1,200 gets you 4-6 hours with as many girls for 1 hour each, or 1-2 girls for 8+ hours (overnight). I unfortunately know this from encountering such people when I was dating (whom I referred to IRS CID). Just check out Craigslist "erotic sevices" for your area, and you will find advertisements ranging from $100-300/hr (less for 1/2 hours). These rates are about the same in any U.S. city, athough there may be some regional variation. Escort agencies usually take

50%.

The sad part of this is that once they start, their life expectancy drops to

8 years.

If, as rumored, the rebates are being funded by a gracious loan from China, it seems fitting that a grateful nation should be willing to give at least a portion of it back.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BREWERY

While "Rednecks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer" is as American as it gets, it's just another member of the infamous American Industrial Light Lager family of corn flavored water.

Are there no craft breweries in Jawja?

Actually, the surprising answer is "often NOT"! Many Walmarts are built with "tax increment financing". The local politicos usually cave to Walmart's pressure. Believe it or not, the sales tax that they collect does NOT get forwarded to the county. It goes to into their coffers. This is one of the big reasons that Walmart can underprice Mom and Pop, who don't have that kind of sweetheart deal.

This is true of Costco and Sam's Club, too.

I know of places that have reduced/eliminated/other on real estate and other taxes; I know of none that have not collected sales taxes at the state level, anyway. I suppose some of the local-option sales taxes might be rebated or cut in some jurisdictions or the fairly common additional special-purpose levies added, but I know of nowhere where it is allowed for them to collect and _keep_ what is purportedly a sales tax. I can't imagine that every getting through a legal challenge that would be sure to come.

imo, $0.02 (levied), etc., etc., etc., ...

Indeed there are, Dick, and all TAX PAID beer is sold, and where I might take a tax client every now and then when my T&E budget is flush. (got the commercial in to avoid rejection of the post.)

Here locally we have the Cannon Brew Pub which is doing a brisk business today with green beer for St Patrick's day. I've not looked but they probably have a web page for which you may "google."

Google "tax increment financing". You'll be surprised. I also thought that these big box stores only had property tax incentives. Not so.
