Every year, Americans celebrate "Tax Freedom Day." Computed by the tax foundation, tax freedom day represents the date on which the average taxpayer has paid off his or her taxes for the year. It is calculated by dividing the official government tally of all taxes collected in each year by all income earned in each year. In 2000, government (federal, state, and local) took 33.6 percent of all income, and Tax Freedom Day was May 3, the latest date ever. In 2009, it was April 13.
