April 14th this year as Tax Freedom Day for Pennsylvania. While tomorrow is the deadline for filing income tax forms, today is the day Pennsylvanians can start working for themselves rather than for the government.

I just wanted to say, I am planning to attend the event on Wed. I looked up our local radio stations web sites here in Lewistown, and WMRF radio does have the event listed in there calendar section. I know one of the disc jockeys there and emailed him to see if they are also advertising it on their shows, and if not could they. Hopefully there will be more attending than orginally thought!!

I can't wait to see where the 'artisans' of the political realm go next.
We once took offense at being taxed for tea?

What's your food plan?
Do you have food stores?
Do you garden?
Do you have livestock?
Do you hunt and fish?
Is your lifestyle sustainable?
