Declare April 15th, the day taxes are due, a national holiday: Interdependence Day. We celebrate the many ways we all rely on one another and contribute to making this a great country.
Why is this important?
I want to encourage a more positive view about the importance of paying taxes. The current narrative seems to be that candidates for public office should always promise to lower taxes or prevent any new taxes. But if people are employed and make money, that's a good thing. Paying taxes is a sign of financial well-being. Let's make the day that taxes are due a day to celebrate the many ways we contribute to one another and keep growing as a nation.
