In 2005, this is three days later than it was in 2004.

So, your government takes 41% of your income, on average (ie some pay more than that, some less), that right? That *is* high; I don't think ours, even in the upper regions had been that high. But, when the taxes got cut for the upper income people, that didn't result in much happiness, either, or not accross the population...
