    Buy American??


    Can't find it now but I got an email a while back that stated, "being that a large % of things in the U.S. are made "overseas", to be sure your $$$ goes to american made products, get a tattoo at a local owned parlor and spend your $$ on a hooker".

    It’s not just USA.

    Couple years ago I was in the Fatherland visiting HQ of the machine company I work for concurrent with a Chinese delegation negotiating obtaining build prints for a low cost machine. Free prints in hand the Chinese troupe sped off in a limo to Amsterdam for “blondes.”

    Later when the Chinese were asked to build the low cost machine for us they responded the minimum order is ten machines. Even Germany lost control of its supply chain, can’t build its own designs or even find local blondes.

    I have tried to live the Buy USA model for years. I watched as laws wereremoved for labeling then we saw our infrastructure collapse and currently America has no ability to defend themselves as even our war machines are outsourced to foreigners. If this is not fixed soon our fiat currency and our nation will be "Babylon the great has fallen"
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Found it!!

    Here's how it works!

    Q: What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
    A: It is money that the federal 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 of it.

    Q: What is the purpose of this payment?
    A: The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high definition television set, a new iPad, or a new SUV, thus stimulating the economy.

    Q: Isn’t that stimulating the economy of China ?
    A: Shut up.

    Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U. S. Economy with and your stimulus check wisely:

    * If you spend the stimulus money at Walmart the money will go to China or Sri Lanka.

    * if you spend it on gasoline, your money goes to the Arabs.

    * if you purchase a computer, it goes to India, Taiwan or China.

    * if you purchase fruits and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

    * if you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea.

    * if you purchase useless stuff, it goes to Taiwan.

    * if you pay your credit card off, or buy stock, it will go to the management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

    Instead keep the money in America by:

    (1) Spending it at a yard sale, or

    (2) Go to a ballgame, or

    (3) Spend it on prostitutes, or

    (4) Beer, or

    (5) Tattoos

    (These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S.)

    CONCLUSION: Go to a ballgame with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day. No need to thank me, I’m just glad I could be of help.

    Your friendly tax accountant

    Years back before you could buy it local, Molsen XXX was the
    beer of choice for fishing by my brother, He did quite a bit of
    fishing up in Ontario and grew fond of the stuff. So for his
    birthday I get him a case of XXX. Bustin' his ball's about not
    brewed in America, he'll tell ya, it's being pissed away on U.S.
    soil and grows me a great garden, so it counts.....LOL
