In 2004, Tax Freedom Day is today, April 11, Easter Sunday. If you're the
average American, every dollar you've earned so far this year goes to pay your
taxes. Starting Monday, you can keep what you earn. And you know what? Tax
Freedom Day, 2004, is the earliest it has been since 1967.


You lucky *******s! Our Tax Freedom day is in June!

Can't believe it! I'd actually be paying more tax in British Columbia in
the scenarios I entered.
You have my sympathies Lloyd.

Thank you. OTOH, we had NO SNOW this winter - I was out sailing and fishing in
Feb, crocuses in the lawn in early March, it's currently about 18C and
everyone's mowing their lawns... 8-)

True, but you get a lot of government bang for the buck. Or at least you get
banged a lot by your government as it pursues your bucks,,,,,,hard to say. :-)

Me? I get to pay good ol punative "AMT".
Particularly aggressive hosing reserved for
folks with unusual incomes. (Certainly doesn't mean unusually high). They
actually suspend the rules and charge a higher amount than the tables call for!
Woa....bummer. My wife's a CPA, or I'd swear there's a hitch in the giddy-up
someplace.

(non partisan comment follows)

Doesn't matter whether the Democratic rat *******s or the Republican rat
*******s are temporarily in charge of cooking the books or how big a "tax cut"
is supposedly in place, they get much more than they need- and several times as
much as they spend wisely.

Wait until the bills start coming due for the Bush misAdministration's
war in iraq, its spending and its refusal to play straight with the
American people on taxes.
