This picture explains a lot...it is by design!

Talk about intelligent design. When you can set the rules you can be the winner. Setting the Tax day about as far away from the Election Day just has to be thought out.

As Mark J. Perry says, "Given the national taxpayer outrage and foul mood this week about big-spending politicians, imagine if they went to the voting polls this week, or even this month?"

Then the money leaving the pocket would be a reminder that the person being elected is supposed to spend that money responsibly for the good of the country...a country of individuals, not one of groups.
