All my hard work has finally paid off

According to Americans for Tax Reform, the rest of the money I make this year is all mine:

Cost of Government Day (COGD) is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of spending and regulatory burdens imposed by government on the federal, state and local levels.

[...]

Cost of Government Day for 2008 is July 16.  Working people must toil on average 197 days out of the year just to meet all costs imposed by government.  In other words, the cost of government consumes 53.9 percent of national income.
In, um, completely unrelated news the U.S. Congress' approval rating is at 14%.
