Happy Tax Freedom Day!
It’s now past 5PM on April 30th. According to the Tax Foundation, that means that the average American has now made enough money in 2007 to cover their total tax burden (federal, state and local) for the year. For the record, Tax Freedom Day came two days later this year than last year. For a historical look at the date of Tax Freedom Day, see the following graph from the Tax Foundation.
