Good morning everyone and I hope you had a great holiday weekend Looks like today is back to work for a lot of folks, but the good news is we’re starting the workweek on a Tuesday Before you head out the door . . . . Didja Know? The average US worker toils for two hours and 47 minutes of each working day just to pay income tax.
Hey Joy that is a particularly interesting factoid. I didn't know it but I am surprised that is all we have to pay to work. Maybe more folk will think about that come voting time again... the rich get a tax breaks and huge incentives that of course trickles down to poor while the average joe is paying 1/3 of the fruits of his work day to Uncle Sam/the rich for the pleasure. I sound cynic... Well smile and keep it moving
I just read where the first 99 days of the work year of what you make is taxes. Then when you add up all the other taxes you pay out for living expenses it runs from 47% to 65% depending on your lifestyle.

Wow that is allot cabbage, shouldn't we all be fully insured and living better People keep talking about how bad big government is. I just wonder percentage wise what the numbers are when u take into consideration the total population today verses what it was when government was "small" I guess it takes more government today than it did back then. It's just too bad the people are not getting more bang for their buck
