Dear IRS,
I am writing to ask whether I may return my 2007 stimulus payment of $89.43. I read today that this payment has contributed to a record-breaking federal budget deficit for the month of May—a whopping $166 billion—and feel that it is my patriotic duty to return my windfall to keep the bankers in Dubai from foreclosing on major American landmarks. I can survive without it, and certainly wouldn’t feel good about spending the extra money knowing that my kids will still be paying interest on it well into their old age. Besides, eighty bucks won’t do much for this rotten economy so you might as well keep it where it could do some good. Maybe you can use it to catch some tax cheats.
Thanks.
