There will never come a day when you're happy with everything your tax dollars support. There will always be something that is at odds with your religion, your morals, or your common sense. I was doing some quick searches to see what kind of things us workin' class Americans have supported…

Usually, around May 15th, it's Tax Free Day for people in Montana. That means so far you have worked every day this year just to pay your taxes.
Just think, in 1930, Tax Free Day was February 13th. So, today is a big day for the 51% of Americans who pay taxes; you finally get to keep what you ma…
