Charts: Visualizing Our Taxes


Washington, Apr 17, 2012 - According to the non-partisan Tax Foundation, Americans will work 107 days on average this year just to pay for federal, state, and local taxes. By their calculations, a larger share of Americans’ income will go to taxes than food, clothing & housing combined! And at more than 3.8 million words, the U.S. tax code is so ridiculously confusing and complicated that it contains over 4 times more words than the complete works of William Shakespeare.

Isn't it time for something that's simpler, flatter, and fairer?
