"The Costliest Day"
Ugh! Just stop to think about what this really means...
G. Tracy Mehan, III writes About it at AmericanSpectator.org:
"August 19, was 'Cost of Government Day' (COGD), the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of the spending and regulatory burden imposed by government at the federal, state and local levels.
'Two years ago Americans worked until July 16 to pay for the cost of government,' says Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform (ATF). 'That government was too expensive and wasteful. Two years later, we work until August 19 for the same bloated government. We lost an additional full month of our income to pay the cost of government in just the last two years.'"
