Tax Freedom Day

[hillbillyreefer]

Thought this would be an appropriate topic for this time of year.

Yesterday was tax freedom day in the United States so I looked up when ours is. It was June 20 last year (Canadian Taxpayers Federation). That is 58 days longer we get to work for our government than the Americans.

Canadians pay every cent they make to the government for the first 171 days of the year. Canadians work for the government for 58 days longer than Americans. Here is an example of some of the costs of big government:

58 days more work until Canadian tax freedom day= 8.2 40 hour work weeks, or 328 hours.

328 hours @ $15/hour=$ 4920.00. And that is just the difference between the US and Canada. If you really want to get mad figure out the amount for the entire 171 days.

Keep in mind this is ALL taxes, property, sales, gas, alcohol, tobacco etc, etc.

The cost of a nanny state is pretty extraordinary.

Just imagine the reef tanks we could all have if our friends in government didn't steal six months worth of our income.

Have a nice day!!!
