Keep An Eye On It

Circle April 24 on your calendar. 
Six years ago, Tax Freedom Day fell on April 12, five days before tax day. In 2016, Tax Freedom Day isn’t unti April 24; an astonishing 12 days later than in 2011, thanks to tax hikes including Obamacare.

 

 Some young people I know have no idea what Tax Freedom Day is.  For them, this quick explanation:  That is the day when you have earned enough, if all you earned until then is given to the government, for the remaining earnings of the year to be considered yours.  Keep an eye on government bloat and overreach because it matters.
