Are we there yet?

I heard on the car radio that yesterday was the day when we stopped working to pay our taxes and now we get to keep whatever we earn from now until the end of the year. (That is if you actually earn a weekly paycheck in today's Obamanomics.) Really? The end of August?! I almost tossed my cookies in the cupholder. Then I realized that in California we still have a few more months to go.

They should at least give us a slave cabin to live in for 2/3 of the year. That would be only fair.

Our tax freedom day this year was April 9th. I think yesterday was the day that we would pay for all of the Dems. spending, if we were paying as we go. That gives some perspective to the size of the budget deficit.

Yesterday included Federal income tax, payroll taxes, state and local taxes, plus regulatory burdens.

"Tax Freedom Day," based on the amount we're currently taxed, comes in April in most states, as Kevin noted. April 14th in California, according to The Tax Foundation.
If we don't clear out Congress - or if the Republicans we elect fail to take the sort of drastic action Paul Ryan suggests - tax freedom day will stop arriving altogether. Given recent polling I'm more concerned about GOP inaction than continued Democrat control!
