This arrived to me in an email. I am not the creator of this genius piece, but I back it 100%.
One day when I'm really pissed about Gas prices, I'll write a very opinionated post.

Thought you'd enjoy, and probably agree with, this.
SPEND Those REFUND CHECKS WISELY!
As you may have heard, the President and Congress have promised us that...
Each and Every One of Us will now get a nice Rebate! ...
BUT...
IF we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China .
IF we spend it on Gasoline, it will all go to the Arabs.
IF we purchase a Computer, it will all go to India .
IF we purchase Fruits & Vegetables, it will all go to Mexico , Honduras ,
and Guatemala .
IF we purchase a good Automobile, it will all go to Japan .
IF we purchase useless Crap, it will all go to Taiwan .
....And NONE of it will help the AMERICAN Economy!
We Need to KEEP that money Here in AMERICA,
So-ooooo the Only Way to KEEP that money Here AT HOME
is to Buy - Prostitutes, Jack Daniel's Whisky, & Beer,
Since those are the Only Businesses STILL IN THE U.S.
On as side note, (and this information may be a bit dated);
These companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell........................... 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels
Citgo gas is from South America, from a Dictator who hates Americans.
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18
BILLION! (oil is now $90 - $100 a barrel)
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco..................0 barrels
Conoco..................0 barrels
Sinclair.................0 barrels
BP/Phillips............0 barrels
Hess.......................0 barrels
ARCO....................0 barrels
