Government Removed Data That I Linked To

April 10, 2009 By: Phred Category: Uncategorized

I am livid.

I started off writing about income tax rates.  It was turning out to be quite a good article (in my opinion).  I decided to cite that tax burden chart from the CBO that I referenced in my cigarette taxes article.  Go ahead and click the link there for the chart. Notice anything?

Its gone.

Then I went to the CBO’s website and the chart was nowhere to be found.  I searched for it by its name: “tax liability shares,” in quotes like they recommend.  The only thing that came up was a list of the tax brackets.  Not what I was looking for.

Then I went to the internet archive which stores records of all websites and there was no record of that page having ever existed.

Did anyone happen to download that file before the government removed it?  If so, could you please send it to me?

So much for open government and transparency.
