Congratulations! Today is the day in the year, according to the Americans for Tax Reform, that you can start working for yourself. 224 days of working just to pay taxes leaves a meager 141 days out of the year in which the money you earn is legally yours. That’s 26 more days of taxation than we endured just last year. Frederic Bastiat would be horrified.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism

Interesting.... if the national COGD is August 12, then I can only assume the COGD for many of us in California (those of us who pay taxes) is sometime in September since we are in the top 2 of the highest taxed people in the nation. Being a California taxpayer is the sole reason I resigned from the Democratic Party in California as of last February 4th - the date of the highest tax increase ever imposed on the citizenry by the the Democratically controlled State Legislature. While I would never align myself with the Republican Party, I am ashamed to say I ever aligned myself with the Democrats. Like the Republicans, they have lost sight of what this country stands for. Good riddance to them.
