It’s Tax Day in the United States
I filed mine; did you? Suffice it to say that Tax Day is not a pleasant day for freelancers in the United States.
Do you ever wonder where those dollars are going? The Council for Contemporary Families offers these tax facts:
For every $100 in income tax you pay,
- $32 goes to national defense
- $19 goes towards interest on the national debt
- $6 goes towards education, employment, and social services.
- $2 goes towards environment and natural resources
- $1 goes to science, space, and technology

Thanks for visiting, Peggy.
It was kind of difficult not to make this an editorial post, but the numbers really speak for themselves (unfortunately).
