Your Tax Refund And You
April 25th, 2008 at 8:38 am by CrankyHere’s an interesting video from Reason.tv. (Video after the jump)
At the Cranky household, we had a great debate to do with our check.
My daughter, the fiscal conservative, wants to send the entire balance to Citibank and get us out of debt.
On the other side was my son, the economist, (and I’m not making this up) wants to stimulate the economy (his words) and preserve the spirit of the stimulation package (my words). Yes, it would enrich American Eagle, but that’s the point.
What are you going to do with your free gubmint money?

I am going on vacation to Israel, so I will use my money to stimulate Israel’s economy. LOL

What is it with “you people”?

Speculation mind you…but there is reason to believe that once the checks start coming in the sale of Lotto tickets will soar.

I’m glad to see the redisribution of the huge check I just sent them happening at such a rapid pace.

We’re using part of ours to pay a financial planner to help us determine how to make more money so that B. Hussein can redistribute it to his homies. The rest will go to savings since we ain’t got no credit card debt (for now).

Hookers! I’m spending it on Hookers. Lots of $10 trash barrel ho’s.

I’m going to “Navin R Johnson” it and invest my winnings of 600 guvment dollars (and some cheese and maybe a mule plus 39.5 acres of prime bottom land) in the Opti Grab and then into a study about anonymity among bloggers.
I wanna get my 40-dollahs worth.
Have a stellar weekend, all of my favorite inmates at 6MB.

Well, we won’t be receiving one of those checks. We don’t fall into that, um, bracket. But our oldest has already committed his to new wheels for his rock crawler.
I love it when our kids start responding with what we’ve instilled in them.

Yiddish, I don’t think that you’re supposed to stimulate TIJUANA’s economy…

No check here (Damn it!)

I am going to buy as many copies of “Lone Survivor” as I can squeeze out of it. Then I will give a copy to everyone I know.
Greatest book of an American military man that I’ve ever read.

Having finally taken care of the credit card debt last year, I’ll probably do a split. I do some home improvements and put the rest in savings.

While these are all fine ideas, I’m a little disappointed that no one here has promised to donate their earnings to Jimmy Carter so that he can continue in his crusade to push the Jooooos into the sea.

This year it looks like Uncle Sam got his fill from us and doesn’t even have the decency to drop a few dollars on the pinball machine. If we were getting a check, I would probably buy stock in these:

Well, you know I’m referring to the tax system.
