On the recordJuly 10, 1996
I therefore would like to express my strong support for this resolution which commemorates July 3, 1996, as Cost of Government Day. It is an injustice that western New Yorkers and all Americans are forced to give up more than 50 percent of what they earn to the Government. Out of 366 days in 1996, the average American will work 184.6 days to support the total cost of Government, leaving 181 days of work to support their families.
