Working Half a Year Before Tax Freedom
“Work Becomes Even More Taxing, Survey on Tax Burden Finds” (April 16) stated that “Tax Freedom Day” will be May 7, based on 127 days’ labor required just to pay our taxes.
If these 127 days are working days, i.e. the typical five days per week, Tax Freedom Day will be June 25.
What a shame that we have to work half a year just to feed the government.
