Government consumes Americans' earnings

Jacob Feldman spoke on WIFI1460 and had an op-ed in The Hill on the Cost of Government Day.

 

Each year Americans for Tax Reform Foundation authors the Cost of Government Day (COGD) report which measures the number of days worked to pay off the annual burden of government spending and regulation. In 2011, Americans have to work 224 days (through August 12) to support the government Goliath. For the third year in a row, government consumes Americans’ earnings at unprecedented levels. This year, Americans are left with a meager four and half months to earn enough to pay their bills and save for their own future.
