Tax Freedom Day

taxrobbery.jpgTax Freedom DayŽ will arrive on April 30 this year, the 120th day of 2007. That means Americans will work four months of the year, from January 1 to April 30, before they have earned enough money to pay this year's tax obligations at the federal, state and local levels. Government is by far the most expensive thing Americans buy.

Tax Freedom Day has arrived later each year for four years running. In 2003, the Bush administration enacted its biggest tax cuts, and Tax Freedom Day arrived April 18, matching 1984 for the earliest Tax Freedom Day in the last three decades.

In percentages, government at all levels now takes 32.7 percent of the nation's income. The highest ever was in 2000 when it took 34.0 percent, and the lowest tax burden in recent years was 29.5 percent of income in 2003.

Since Ogre works hard, I can assure that I'm working and paying a bit more and a bit longer for those who do not work. If you want to thank me, get a job and vote for someone who let me keep the damn money I work for myself.
