TAX FREEDOM DAY

Cette année, les Américains arrêteront de travailler pour l'Etat à partir du 26 avril:

As children anticipate Christmas, when they can play with their new toys, so taxpayers eagerly wait for Tax Freedom Day, when they finally stop working for the government and start working for themselves. This year, it lands on April 26, the latest it’s fallen since 2001 and three days later than last year. Tax Freedom Day is the brainchild of the Tax Foundation, which takes the occasion to release a host of data on the tax burden that Americans face. This year, Americans will pay 31.60 percent of their income in taxes, more than any other expenditure, including “housing and household operation.”
