Tommy Joe, let me ask you this question (and I’m considering even making it a thread in its own right): If we moved income tax day from April 15 to the day before election day, what, if any, difference would that make?

I would prefer to have election day moved to April 16th or tax day moved to the day before election day.

Why is tax day exactly 6 months before and 6 month after election day? How about voting the day after you find out what your taxes are?

@ScottWalker “Tax Day” should be moved to the day before Election Day. That would remind voters of what the candidates do with their money.

#TaxDay is a painful reminder that our tax code needs to be reformed. Our tax code should be fair, simple, and transparent.

This year on #TaxDay, I say let’s pick up the fight again. Let’s keep fighting for smaller, constitutional government. Congress will be forced to vote on my balanced budget plan in the coming days. I hope they’ll show some fiscal sanity for a change.
