Cost of Government Day is Today! You can now start working for yourself!

Americans for Tax Reform:

Cost of Government Day (COGD) is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of spending and regulatory burdens imposed by government on the federal, state and local levels.

Cost of Government Day for 2008 is July 16.  Working people must toil on average 197 days out of the year just to meet all costs imposed by government.  In other words, the cost of government consumes 53.9 percent of national income.

So year after year we give more of our hard earned money to a bunch of nitwits lawyers and they dole it back out at their pleasure.  Such good stewards of our tax money they are.

Happy COGDay!
