Australia's New Financial Stimulus Package Just Announced
Stimulus Payment Info.
"This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will try to explain using the Q and A format: 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 smidgin. Q. What is the purpose of this payment? A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set or some such thing, thus stimulating the economy. Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of Japan, China, Korea, India ? A. Shut up. Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the Australian economy by spending your stimulus cheque wisely: If you spend that money at Kmart, all the money will go to China . If you spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs. If you purchase a computer it will go to India or Japan. If you buy a car it will go to Japan or Korea. If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan . And low and behold, none of it will help the Australian economy, ........surprise surprise. We need to keep that money here in Australia. You ask how can we keep the money in Australia? By spending it at garage sales, going to a cricket match or footy game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses left that may still be owned by Aussies |
