Do Less with Less

"As we approach Tax Day this year (which falls on Monday, April 18 instead of the more familiar April 15 due to vagaries of federal holiday celebrations) the national discussion focuses on budget fights over the sustainability of our current levels of taxation relative to entitlement promises and discretionary spending. As in many recent years, Tax Day comes later in 2011 than yesterday’s Tax Freedom Day (April 12), which is noted by The Tax Foundation as the day in which American taxpayers have to work from the beginning of the year to meet their annual overall tax burden. The calculation of this date includes tax liabilities at the federal, state, and local levels."
