US centric - My mother sent me this forward

[tyresias]

The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate.
If we spend it at Walmart, the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline, the money will go to the Arabs. If we purchase a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car, it will go to Japan. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan. and none of it will help the North American economy.

The only way to keep the money here at home is to buy prostitutes, weed, beer and tattoos since these are the only products still produced in the North America. 
Thank you for your help and please support the home team!
