We're Free!

That's correct. Today is "Cost of Government Day". This means that thus far this year most Americans have worked for the government. Every penny earned has gone to taxes. But not after today. After today, until December 31st, you get to keep your money and spend it on luxuries like gas and food. So, happy COG Day to you and yours.
And, since I learned this fact on George Grant's blog, I thought I would also steal his quotes.

"It is a good thing that we do not get as much government as we pay for."
-Will Rogers

"The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin."
-Mark Twain
