You have heard of
Tax Freedom Day.Now there is
Cost of Government Day.Cost of Government Day is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of spending and regulatory burdens imposed by all levels of government, federal, state and local.
According to the Americans for Tax Reform, Cost of Government Day is far worse than Tax Freedom Day. Cost of Government Day for 2007 was July 11th, two days later than last year’s revised date of July 9th. In Wisconsin, Cost of Government Day came on July 13, two days later than the national average.
Gloomy fails to even come close to describing how dismal this prospect is for American taxpayers. The nation’s average worker must labor on average 192 days, over half the year, in order to meet all tax obligations. Bloated, super-sized government takes away 52.6 percent of national income.
