The year is more than half gone, and we finally get to keep the money that we work so hard for. According to a report from Americans for Tax Reform, described in today's National Review Online, today is Cost of Government Day, which is "the date in the calendar year when the average American worker has earned enough money to pay off his or her share of the burdens of government at all levels." Sad to say, Cost of Government Day falls five days later this year than it did in 2002. More of the gory details are described in the NRO column written by ATR's president, Grover Norquist.
