I'm not so sure that this is something that couldn't be done by simply leaving sealed letters in a lockbox and pointing your executer to the fact that these letters exist.

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.

Check out this picture!

One of my favorite websites CARPE DIEM has it plus a whole lot more!

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?"

He and I both agree that a better idea for a responsible republic would be to have these two dates coincide. 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.

Tax Freedom Day - Good News - Bad News

From Carpe Diem, the tax freedom day comes earlier than last year (that's the good news) meaning that you pay off your taxes earlier. The bad news is that "Americans will pay more in taxes than they will spend on food, clothing and housing combined."

That is simply amazing! Read that again...More in TAXES than FOOD + CLOTHING + HOUSING. The three items that are commonly known as necessities "Food, Shelter, Clothing" now take a smaller portion than the "two certainties in life"..."Death and Taxes." (I'm assuming that death happens at no cost.)
