Although Representative Miller s original intent was to have this day declared a national holiday through legislation, congressional rules precluded this. However, he looks forward to having the House debate and pass this resolution urging all Americans to remember this important day in any way they can. According to the Tax Foundation, after May 14 Florida families can start working for themselves. The previous 134 days have been spent earning money just to pay all federal, state and local taxes. Nationally, from January 1 until May 11 all money earned by a worker is to pay federal taxes.
Every program costs money.
This money comes in the form of taxes. As such more and more tax revenue is needed to pay for more and new programs. As long as these programs exist, the government needs to collect high levels of tax revenues to pay for them. This is one reason why Representative Miller has been so strongly supportive of efforts to cut wasteful government spending and prevent the creation of new programs. Last Congress he was the 9th most frugal out of 435 representatives in efforts to reign in federal spending according to the National Taxpayer Union.
