Today I learned for the first time of Emancipation Day. Apparently, the Mayor of DC signed a law in 2005 proclaiming April 16 a holiday...and this shuts down the federal government, creating another paid holiday. This is why we got a few extra days to do taxes (if the 16th is a Saturday, they take Friday off).
Stealth holiday - neat trick.
My idea is this:
COMPLETELY get rid of withholding, anticipated tax payments and everything else- ALL Americans must pay, in cash or check, their entire state and federal amount on a specified day.
That day must, by law, ALSO be the day they vote.
