How Many Days Do Alabamians Work to Pay Taxes?

Speaking of taxes, as we were

How many days of the year do Alabamians work to pay local, state and federal taxes? 101, according to the Tax Foundation.

Where do we rank on the list of what states work the most days to pay off their tax burdens? Last. (51st, including the District of Columbia.) That is to say that residents of 49 other states and the District of Columbia work more days than Alabamians do to pay their federal, state, and local taxes.

(Residents of Connecticut work 31 days more, a full month more, than Alabamians do to pay their tax bill.)

Noteworthy this week because the average American works until April 26 this year to pay local, state, and federal taxes for the year.

Hat tip to Alabama Pundit.
