IRS Check

Posted by Terrie Soberg under: Humor .

How to use Your IRS 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 Mexico, 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 still in the US!

That puts things in a perspective that maybe I would rather stay ignorant about. What’s with our economic planners? I guess they are totally banking on globalism and we can see where that gets us when countries get worried about feeding their people.

You know, I am not sure I can afford to shop for US only goods, but I wonder how hard it would be to obtain a list of US made goods and services. There must be “certified’ lists out there produced by US only advocate groups.

Or you could spend the checks at Local Live theaters! Those productions are US made. ( For those of you who live in Salt Lake Valley, come see me at Hale center located across from the E-center. Theater in the Curious Savage

I know- shameless plug.

Okay fess up, Cave. Details, name of play, the part you play?

Sorry I screwed up that post.
The name of the play is “The Curious Savage” written by John Patrick
I play the part of Senator Titus Savage - A pompous, overbearing jerk.
It is a great script. My wife cried when she read it. (It is a comedy but has a touching ending.)
It is playing at the New Hale Center Theater.

Cavetrollhead once acted in a play I wrote when I lived in Provo. He was an excellent actor. I would recommend any who live in the area to go see him. I wish I was up there.

Cave, if it is a success take it on the road and come out to Boston. ;) Good luck with that.

We are non-denominational and accept people from both sides of the political aisle, as long as everyone is treated with respect and there is no flaming. We are aware that many may feel that their writing is inadequate or that they have nothing valuable to contribute, but we encourage all to participate. Please do not feel intimidated here--we are all friends. Even a short "I agree" or "Well said" is appreciated. The only stupid questions are the ones that are not asked. Don't let Stumpy and stories about his donkey bother you. He really is just a sweet, old man! Please spread the word about us and let others know we are here.

Our Mission Statement

Encourage people to learn about our Constitution and the freedoms it preserves and to have faith in the Judaeo-Christian principles upon which it is based so that when those freedoms are threatened action may be taken to protect them.

In support of our mission statement, here is our Three-Fold Purpose of the blog, In God We Trust.

1. Defining and spreading an understanding of our Constitutional freedoms for the purpose of sustaining those freedoms.

2. Identifying threats to the unity of the conservative base, and helping people to resist the pressure to compromise values as an answer to political tensions.

3. Spreading the message that the key for healing the nation is showing respect, tolerance and kindness as we accept the political differences of others.
