The HST Stimulus Cheque Explained

Now this clears everything up...........


Sometime this year, we taxpayers will receive an 'HST Compensation'' payment.

This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it byusing a Q & A format:

Q. What is an 'HST Compensation' payment?

A. It is money that the provincial 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 ahigh-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?

A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the economy byspending your compensation cheque wisely:

* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money willgo to China or Sri Lanka .

* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to theArabs.

* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan orChina.

* If you purchase fruit 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 will go to Taiwan .

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

Instead, keep the money in Canada by:

1) Spending it at yard sales, or

2) Going tohockey games, or

3) Spending it on prostitutes, or

4) Beer or

5) Tattoos.

(These are the only Canadian businesses still operating in Canada .)

Conclusion:

Go to a hockeygame 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.

That just about covers it.
