For the first time the American taxpayer had to pay his or her paycheck until the 16th of July in order to support government. This is the first time that tax freedom day is in July. Way to go Mr. President.


Now everyone get back to work, we need to get a head start on next year (this assumes that Obama and the democrats finally pass a budget into law)

This includes an average for state, city, county, and local goverment. This is an average and is slightly different from one city or state to another.
Interesting how 2 organizations with similar goals come up with different estimates.
If you made the big bucks you had this day if you didn't the day came on Dec 31
