	NASE Viewpoints:Tax Freedom Day
		This elite group of tax paying (and paying and paying and paying) people who have to work longer for their tax freedom are the so-called backbone of the American economy.
		While many W-2 earners receive the benefit of receiving health insurance tax free from their employers self employed people are only able to deduct 60 percent of their premium costs and then only after they have paid social security taxes on the full amount of premiums paid.
		So while millions of Americans cheered their tax freedom on May 3rd, their millions of self-employed bothers and sisters will be waiting days, weeks and in some cases months before they finish working for Uncle Sam and all his varied kin in state and local governments.

		I'm not sure what the tax freedom day report said in previous years, but you can read the site for yourself -- they only use the word "average" once in main text of their press release (not counting FAQ) and it seems pretty fair to me: http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxfreedomday.html.

		Tax Freedom Day is a fiction, intended to dramatize the immense size of the bite, not an actual date at which the real bite ever "ends."
		This whole notion of tax as "theft" is a piece of ideological sophistry, since most of the money is used to provide tax-payers with defence, policing, a legal system, a health system, etc., etc. Public provision of certain (not all) services ends up being cheaper and more efficient than private sector provision.

	Hit and Run
		Tax Freedom Day is supposed to mark the transition from the portion of the year during which "Americans work to pay taxes" to the part during which "they work to support themselves." It's a clever bit of libertarian propaganda, though one I'll confess I've always thought was based on a bit of a bullshit number.
		But using these aggregates of total taxes and income skews the average up: The top ten percent of tax payers shouldered almost two-thirds of the federal income tax burden as of 2003.
