Today is tax day. It’s the day most of America is frantically gathering their W-2′s and installing Turbo Tax, all in an effort to file their taxes before the end of the day.

I’m sure you can draw plenty of conclusions from the graph, and we’d love to hear them. Drop us a comment, and don’t forget to contribute to your IRA today.
