APRIL 15 – TAX DAY!
Today Hoosiers around the state will send a check to the IRS and to the Indiana Department of Revenue. Here are some thoughts for today:
- Always remember that the government has no money to spend but your money! When you hear politicians talk about creating new government programs or expanding an existing government program, remember that someone has to pay for the program. That someone is you and your children and grandchildren!
- Always remember that you and your family can do more with your money that the government can!
- Always remember that continuing to increase government spending will eventually lead to tax increases for you and your children and grandchildren!
- Advance America has been a leader in urging the passage of legislation to control state government spending increases!
- Advance America does not support tax increases on Hoosier families or Hoosier businesses!
Tax Freedom Day – April 9th
Did you know that from January 1, 2010 until April 9, 2010, you were working for the government!
Here is what Jonah Goldberg had to say in a recent column on April 9th.
“Congratulations! This is your last week working for the man – at least for this year. The Tax Foundation calculates that Tax Freedom Day for 2010 is today (April 9), which means Americans will have spent nearly 100 days working just to pay their taxes!”
“The Tax Foundation estimates that some 60 percent of families already get more from the government than they pay in taxes (and the top 10 percent of earners pay more than 70 percent of the income taxes).”
Contact Your Elected Officials About Taxes!
If you are concerned about the growth of government spending at the local, state and federal level and you are concerned about tax increases at the local, state or federal level, contact your elected officials and those running for office and let your voice be heard!
Always remember this is your government!
