National Cost of Government Day

Yesterday was National Cost of Government Day.  What does that mean?  It means that, on average, you have finished paying the cost of government for this year:

Today is the first day you stopped working for Uncle Sam and began working for yourself. Americans must labor 231 days out of the year just to meet all costs imposed by government - 8 days later than last year and a full 34 days longer than 2008.

Sadly, if you live in Maryland (as I do) you will continue paying for the cost of government through September 4th (4th worse in the nation).  Delawareans will have met their obligations tomorrow.  Virginians on August 25th.

When Ehrlich was governor, MD was ranked at 25 as the most "taxing" state...in the middle. Now with a Democrat governor, MD is ranked #4. And don't believe the nonsense being spread by the liberals. When things started sliding downhill for Bush, it was after the Democrats took over both houses of Congress again. Remember that on Election Day, folks!

I remember back around 1972 it was around my birthday; in MID APRIL! I think it's time we all go to the polls and vote for kids just out of college to bring this thing back into perspective.
