A fantastic "Every Day is Tax Day" infographic designed and developed by Fred Chasen, shows just how much of a US citizen's wage goes to the government and through which department it is spent. This information, revolutionary for the taxpayers' perception of their government spending, may be heralding a new age of greater accountability for government budgets. With the US seemingly trapped by internal bickering on its budget; with the EU about to announce a new budget increase this Wednesday likely to cause outrage throughout EU Member States that have been forced to make politically suicidal public sector cuts and with the anti-eurobailout party True Finns about to rejoin the Finnish Government, the question I ask: are taxpayers finally getting some of the representation they deserve?
