[보도] 91 days go to paying ’08 슬롯 조작es

No matter how one looks at it, everyone is going to die and a certain number of days each year are going to be spent working not for one’s personal wealth, but for the government’s.

So how many days does that turn out to be this year?
For the average 슬롯 조작payer in Korea, the number is 91, making today the nation’s 슬롯 조작 Freedom Day, according to the Center for Free Enterprise, Korea’s representative libertarian think tank.

슬롯 조작 Freedom Day is the first day of the year in which an average 슬롯 조작payer has theoretically earned enough to fund his annual 슬롯 조작 burden, the think tank explained.

The day fell on March 29 last year.

“In the 2000s, 슬롯 조작 Freedom Day is falling an average of one day later every year, which indicates that each Korean’s 슬롯 조작 burden gets heavier every year,” said Choi Seung-no, a research fellow at the think tank.

슬롯 조작 Freedom Day is identified by applying the ratio of total 슬롯 조작es to national income, the Center for Free Enterprise explained.

슬롯 조작 revenue for 2008 is estimated at 209.1 trillion won ($211.1 billion), and national income is expected to reach 837.

2 trillion won, according to government data.

The ratio is 25 percent, which means average 슬롯 조작payers have to pay 25 percent of their income as 슬롯 조작es this year.

Another way to think about 슬롯 조작es is to identify each day’s 슬롯 조작 Freedom Hour, the think tank said.

Average 슬롯 조작payers, who work from 9 a.m.

to 6 p.m.

with an hour off for lunch, are paying the equivalent of earnings for the first hour and 59 minutes each day as 슬롯 조작es.

The figure was one hour and 54 minutes last year.

“The progressive 슬롯 조작 system is one reason for the continuously increasing 슬롯 조작 burden,” Choi said.

“National incomes and price levels have risen steadily, but the thresholds for upper income tiers, which pay higher 슬롯 조작es, have not been raised.”
Choi added that former-President Roh Moo-hyun’s administration initiated a comprehensive real estate 슬롯 조작 that shares the blame for the rising overall 슬롯 조작 burden.

The comprehensive real estate 슬롯 조작 is an additional property 슬롯 조작 paid for high-priced homes or by those who own multiple homes.
