Happy Tax Day!

It's April 15, and that means millions of Americans must file their annual tax returns, detailing their income and how much of it will go to the federal government. There's lots of punditry on this topic today, so I'll add my two baht's worth: this year, 98% of Americans paid less in taxes than they did last year. Most of these tax cuts were part of the economic stimulus package passed by Congress last year. If you're feeling sorry for the 2% who paid more taxes, please feel free to send a charitable donation (check with your accountant to see if it's tax deductible) to your favorite wealthy person today.
