Plan the celebration people!  Get the grill ready, your favorite beverage on tap, and take a moment or two to reflect on this Friday.  According to the Tax Foundation, April 9 is “Tax Freedom Day”, 99 days that if we worked straight through with no breaks, every dollar we earned during this time would be spent on taxes levied by the Federal, state, and local  governments.  Of course, we haven’t worked 99 days straight, but its an interesting thought, that if we did do this, not a single penny would be ours until then.  According to the Tax Foundation, this year’s date is one day longer than last year.  It also does not factor in the deficit, which when added, would make Tax Freedom Day on May 17.

Read for yourself and celebrate people, for Friday is the day, at least for 2010.
