Tax Freedom Day

Tax Freedom Day: "is the day when Americans finally have earned enough money to pay off their total tax bill for the year. In 2004, New York taxpayers had to work until April 27th, ranking it 2nd in the nation, sixteen days after National Tax Freedom Day (April 11th). New York taxpayers must work 46 days into the year just to pay their state and local tax bill which, at $5,320 per-capita, is the highest nationally. The Tax Freedom Days of neighboring states were; Pennsylvania, April 6th (ranked 29th), New Jersey, April 19th (ranked 3rd), Connecticut, April 28th (ranked 1st) and Vermont, April 10th (ranked 16th).
