  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Tax Rebate



President George Bush said each one of us would get a $600.00 tax

rebate. It was previously slated to be $800.00, but they dropped it to a

$600.00 tax rebate because of various budget problems.



Now, if we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China

, if we spend it on computers, it will go to Korea or India . If we

spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs.....and none of these

scenarios will help the American economy.



We need to keep that money here in America .....so the only way to keep

that money here at home is to drink beer, gamble, or spend it on

prostitution. Currently it seems that these are the only businesses

still left in the U.S.

Q. Is my stimulus payment taxable?
A. No. You will not owe tax on your payment when you file your 2008 federal income tax return. But you should keep a copy of the IRS letter you receive later this year listing the amount of your payment. In the event you do not qualify for the full amount this year but you do next year, you will need to have the letter as a record of the amount you previously received.

So...if I spend all $600 on some nice Tatuaje brown labels, then that would mean I'd be buying products made in America (Miami) by Americans (Don Pepin and his staff) for an American company (Tatuaje) owned by an American (Pete Johnson). Other than the fact that the raw materials come from Nicaragua, I would think that MOST of the profits would end up in the American economy.

Sounds reasonable enough to me. :grin:
