More Tax Gouging

U.S. tax receipts have reached a new one-day record. Again. Last year’s record was $36.4 billion. This year the U.S. Treasury collected $48.7 billion in one day from individuals. That’s a 34% increase year over year. Last September, a record for total tax receipts was achieved-including those from businesses. ARO contrasted that with the big hullaballoo over Exxon’s record profit of $36 billion for the whole year.
And they need more of our money in order to balance the budget? In the words of the esteemed John Stossel, give me a break.
