Help America - spend your rebate wisely.

The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600
rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, 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 fruit and vegetables it will go to
Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala. If we purchase a car i t will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help
the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy
prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in
the USA. Thank you for your help.

Signed,
Governor Spitzer.
