This week marked “cost of government day” — the date in which the average American has now paid the cost of taxes and regulations handed down from federal, state and local governments. The date, July 16, means Americans work more than half the year to pay for all the government we enjoy.
According to the report authors at Americans for Tax Reform , the date was four days later than last year — and one of the worst in the last 22 years. When you work more than half the year to pay for government, you are working for government; that is many things, but freedom it is not.
