The Onion : Bush offers $300 Tax rebate if We Go to War with Iraq


Citizens are excited by the prospect of having a little extra
spending money.

"Things have been pretty tight lately, so this sure would come in
handy," said Ray Kilty, 48, an Akron,
OH, screen-door-factory worker. "I don't know much about what's going
on with Iraq, but I do know
what's going on with my truck. The brakes are set to go any day now."

Bush has been pushing the rebate, part of his ambitious $1.4
trillion tax-cut agenda, in a series of TV
commercials. One such ad, which made its debut last Tuesday during
Fox's American Idol, features the
slogan, "Free Iraq Of Hussein, Free Rent For A Month." Another
upcoming spot asks the question, "War:
What Is It Good For?" and answers, "$300, Is What."
