But who ever heard of a man working two or three months for no pay. Thats right, no pay. Yet according to the Tax Foundation an unmarried industrial employee earning $83 a week must work slightly more than eight weeks to pay for Federal income taxes amounting to approximately $682 a year. The average married man with one child earning the same pay must work five weeks to pay his Federal income, tax amounting to approximately $417 a year. The more dependents, the smaller the tax.

The same $83 a week employee would have to be supporting a wife and five children before the Federal Tax Collector passes him by. If this working man owns or is buying a home, it Will probably take all the contents of three or more weekly pay envelopes to pay his property tax bill, according to the San Joaquin County Taxpayers Association. In fact, as Income Tax Day approaches, the average American has probably worked for the local. State and Federal governments since the first of the year to pay this years income tax, property tax, sales tax, gas tax, parking meters, fines, licenses, and all the other direct and indirect charges for public services.
