[TruthTalk] Tax Freedom Day

[ShieldsFamily]

g, Actually Tax Freedom Day was at it’s latest day ever on May 2, 2004.  (Guess who just finished 8 years of taxation on America?)  This year it came 21 days earlier (guess who cut taxes for you and me?).  Amazing proof that the Democrats are out to CONFISCATE YOUR MONEY, and the Republicans are out to GIVE IT BACK TO YOU WHO EARNED IT.  Izzy   Washington, D.C., April 7, 2004 — According to Tax Foundation calculations using the latest government data on income and taxes, Tax Freedom Day® in 2004 will be celebrated on April 11th, the earliest Tax Freedom Day for 37 years. April 11th is three days earlier than 2003’s Tax Freedom Day of April 14 and an amazing 21 days earlier than in 2000, when the boom and bubble pushed tax burdens to a record high, and Tax Freedom Day was postponed until May 2 (see Figure 1). "Federal tax cuts have made the average American tax burden lighter in 2004," said Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge. "Because the bubble in 1999 and 2000 boosted tax collections to artificially high levels, the drop since then is all the more dramatic. In fact, it is the biggest drop in America's tax burden for at least a century." The report is Tax Foundation Special Report No. 129, "America Celebrates Tax Freedom Day®," by Hodge and Foundation Senior Economist Scott Moody. The report traces the course of America’s tax burden since 1900, examines the composition of today’s tax burden by type of tax, projects the future course of Tax Freedom Day and compares tax payments to other typical consumer expenditures. http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxfreedomday.html   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 10:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The End of Truthtalk     the day you mentioned used to be in May a couple of years ago   On Sun, 5 Sep 2004 20:10:13 -0500 "ShieldsFamily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: A couple of days after you’ve paid your federal taxes for the year.
