It is April 17.

Today is Tax Freedom Day.

(PCM) Tax Freedom Day is the day that the money that you earn that particular year, on average, stops going into the government’s pocket and starts going into yours.

Trivial Fact of the day - The U.S. tax code contains 7,000,000,000 words. If you are counting zeroes, that is 7 BILLION not Million. The Bible, called by many the greatest book of all time, has well under a million. The Gettysburg Address has 269 words, and that is often called the greatest speech ever written. The greatest love letter of all time, Tarzan’s to Jane had only 97 words.

Quote of the Day - "On my income tax form 1040, it says 'Check here if you are blind.' I wanted to put a check mark 3 inches away." Tom Lehrer (comedian)

Word of the Day - a person who spreads rumors is described as a Rumormonger.
