Tax freedom day...

"I am proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is, I could be just as proud for half the money." -Arthur Godfrey

Today is the day you start making your own money. According to a news report this morning on NBC News, the average American just finished making enough this year to pay all their taxes for the year. What they (or you and me) make now is there's free and clear. Nice to know isn't it? It takes almost three and half months to pay your taxes. That's more than a quarter of a year! The good news? This is the earliest Tax Freedom Day in recent years. Celebrate!
