Ahh, it's so confusing!
Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax burden
on Americans, and then calculates the “Tax Freedom Day'. This is the day after
which the money you earn goes to you, not the
government.
This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been
since 1991. Its latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in 2000. Notice
anything special about those dates?
Recently, John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are actually
paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave no explanation
and provided no data for this claim.
Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men.
Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions, all worth
several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an old barn brought
over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame).
Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does that sound
right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out a way to
avoid paying his own.
Cats. the other white meat.
