ACHTUNG! GERMANY'S TAX FREEDOM DAY WAS LAST FRIDAY

July 17, 2007

Germany's "Tax Freedom Day" - the day when the average taxpayer had earned enough to cover taxes for the year - was July 13, according to the Adam Smith Institute. That means the average German worker toils more for the government than for himself. It makes me want to thank great-great grandpa Bernard Kristan for getting out when the getting was good.

By comparision, the U.K. celebrates Tax Freedom Day on June 1, and the U.S. day is April 30. The sooner, the better!

Hat Tip: Tax The Fish.
