Tax Day!

Being a small government, anti-tax kinda guy I thought I would be remiss if I didn't post a blog on the day we all either pay or pay and file a delay.

Have a beer, sit back, and commiserate with the the rest of us -- but don't think you are finished yet! According to the Tax Foundation (http://www.taxfoundation.org/) you have 8 more days of work before you have earned enough (on average) to pay off your taxes. Yes, you read it right. On an average we have to work from 1 January 2008 to 23 April 2008 to earn enough money to pay your taxes.

So while today is tax day, 23 April 2008 is this year's Tax Freedom Day.

See the graph below for a history of Tax Freedom Day.



Overlay the data with who was the president and see the difference...
