Americans celebrated Tax Freedom Day on April 23rd. It is the mythical day when Americans stop working for the government and start working for themselves.
The Spanish think tank Institución Futuro wrote me to let me know that they have started an initiative to celebrate Tax Freedom Day in Spain, which occurred on May 21st this year.
Since taxes have become so hidden to most citizens, it is important to get the word out about the real cost of taxation and government. I hope more groups take on this initiative.
