Let's Put the "Fun" in "Refund"
A Memo to our Readers

It is summer 2001, so that means that President Bush (Part 2) will be sending all of us a tax refund some time soon. That should be a cause for celebration. Sure, the big tax cut may hurt the country in the long run, but at least we can feel that we played a part in it. The last major nation- hurting tax cut was made when I was in elementary school, and I am certain that most of you were, too. The Reagan tax cut was our parent's fault, but this one will be our fault. Sharing is fun.

This is my plan for what our readers should do when they spend their tax refund: write a letter the President. Yes, I want all of you to send a letter of thanks to the President because he kept a campaign promise.

I don't care if you buy drugs, booze, or invest the money. You can do whatever you please. I, for example, am planning to donate the money to progressive/liberal causes. I am looking forward to donating money in President Bush (Part 2)'s name to pro-abortion groups, environmental causes and anti-death penalty people.

I am asking you to do something, anything, and everything in the name of President Bush (Part 2). And, having done that, let him know.

Please, cc: me a copy of the letter you send and let me know how things go. This could be highly entertaining.
