I don’t mean to pile on to Rachl Lukis’ butthurt, but Tax Freedom Day is April 23rd.

Somehow…the fact that it’s 3 days earlier this year doesn’t ease the sting of realizing I’m working almost 4 months a year to give my pie away so that others can have some.

If I didn’t have a sense of pride, or a strong work ethic, an insatiable need to succeed or a desire to do more than just get by… I’d quit my job and suckle at the government teat.

But alas, I want to do more with my life than know what was on Dr. Phil today. I better get back to work.

    Well, it won’t make you feel any better to know that Cost of Government Day (the cost of not just the taxes, but also the costs of regulation) is still being calculated this year. However, last year, it was July 10. That was a minor improvement from July 12. But the year before had been July 4. Jesus, what’s wrong when the day we stop working to pay off the full cost of government is Independence Day or later?

    Thanks, Bitter. I needed that.

    Now I’ll have to buy more ammunition to fuel my bitterness.
