Sending Our Tax Dollars Back to Work

If you paid taxes this year, you may be receiving an economic stimulus payment from the IRS. The payment is meant to provide a little relief for people under particular economic pressure and to encourage us all to buy more this year in the hope that this will stimulate the economy.

Perhaps you don’t feel that you need the relief. Perhaps you don’t want to buy more clothes, appliances, or other consumer goods.

I don’t think my tax dollars are ready to take a day off for shopping yet. They have more work to do before I buy even one more item to squeeze into my little apartment. They can work to put the poorest of the poor to work. They can feed and shelter seniors whose work is done.

I expect a very high return on my investment.
