Plan an October Surprise...

Those of you who want President Bush re-elected, skip this entry. If you're in the Anything Is Better Than What We Have Now camp, here's a plan:

If we're lucky, many of us will be getting a tax refund soon. However, if we go on a shopping spree, spending those refund checks on consumer goods, then we will boost the economic numbers, allowing Bush to strengthen his position that the economy is in a recovery, while unemployment is still rampant. Thus, I propose that those of us seeking to deny Bush a second term not spend our refund checks. Instead, put your refunds in savings. We plan to plow our refund into our IRAs. The benefits for our retirement and next year's taxes will far outweigh the benefits of Nintendo Gamecube. Not to mention it is something small we can do to not support the Republican re-election bid.
