TAX DAY IS EVERY DAY
FOR 5 MONTHS EACH YEAR

That's 267% more months 'working for government' than it used to be, as shown in the chart.

The government taxes when you earn it, taxes you when you save it, taxes you when you invest it, taxes you when you spend it, and, when you die, they tax what's left over. What did they leave out?

5.3 months working for taxes is 43% of a year. In 1776 Thomas Paine argued that if a king demanded 50% in taxes, we wouldn't pay it. We are nearly there.

Who said the 'era of big government is over?'
