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.
It's 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.
