Happy Cost of Government Day
Posted by Dave Blount at July 11, 2007 11:45 AM
According to Americans for Tax Reform, today is Cost of Government Day. Today the average American worker will have made enough money to cover the cost of taxes and regulations for the year. The rest of the year, we can actually work for ourselves and our families, instead of for the vampire horde that constitutes our federal, state, and local governments.
But don't think Cost of Government Day will always come so soon after the middle of the year. Bush's tax cuts will expire in 2010 unless Congress extends them, which won't happen if Democrats have anything to say about it. Government spending continues to feed on itself, entitlement programs are metastasizing like terminal cancer, and the useless parasitical dolts running the bureaucracy still won't close the border, which will result in a massive explosion of welfare roles when the offspring of illegal aliens realize you can make more by being a victim of capitalism than you can by picking lettuce.
