Here's why. If you were to put $10 in my wallet and set me out on the town, I would find a used bookstore and buy a $3 book, go to a Mexican restaurant and spend $5 on the cheapest item on the menu, then go home and take two puffs on a bong and read the book until I fell asleep happy.
But that's not why I'm a lousy American. Here's why.

You left out "give $992 to my wife". In my case, I'd be lucky to keep the $8.
My wife and I pretty much keep our finances separate, which is why I'm in debt for the first time in my life. I have to admit, she's a more patriotic consumer than I am but still not materialistic enough to be considered "a good American."
