Happy Work-for-your-own-Money Day

[hortysir]

On a nationwide average, today marks the first day that you hard work ISN'T going towards supporting your Government.

This is the day on which the average American has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of the spending and regulatory burdens imposed by government at the federal, state, and local levels. In 2012, Cost of Government Day falls on July 15. Working people must toil 197 days out of the year just to meet all costs imposed by government. 2012 marks the fourth consecutive year COGD has fallen in July.

In 2008 it was 3 weeks sooner, btw

Of course, if you live in a state that doesn't have State Income Tax your burden will have been paid off sooner.

You still have almost another month of work ahead of you
