Happy Tax Freedom Day!

By Shawn Swisher · April 13, 2009

Hip hip hooray, it’s Tax Freedom Day! What’s this you ask? Today is the day Americans begin to make money for themselves. Prior to today, you’ve just been working for the government. This year, the average American will pay just over 28% of their income in taxes and it will take them 103 days of work to pay for this, making today the day politicians remove their hands from our pockets (at least until they blow through the money). Enjoy the day, for in just two days we will mark the day all Americans hate…Tax Day!

I have to tell you that you make me just laugh! When I am most depressed about the “state” that the United States is now in, I look forward to your views and take much delight as you put your twist on what is otherwise normally bad news. You have a gift of making light on what should be something we are all concerned about more tolerable with your humor. I thank you for your candor and linking that to hard facts about politics. I have become more concerned as I have grown older, about where our country is heading, and your blog is just great! It is informative, yet not stuffy. And you always leave me cracked up at the end! Keep up the good work!
