- On average we work to late April to pay taxes.
-
April 15th may be the deadline for paying the Federal government, but the money has not been earned yet.
I don't know how these numbers are calculated, but they help put your anger in context. Then you can be even angrier.
From 1776 until the early 1900s, total government spending seldom rose above 10 percent of national income (except in wartime).
In 1913, Tax Freedom day fell on Jan. 30.
By 1940, FDR?s New Deal had advanced it to March 8.
As LBJ?s Great Society programs and the Vietnam War devoured government revenues, it fast-forwarded to April 30 by 1969.
After getting as far as May 10th, it's back into April again. - Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 11/19/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
