The mission of the Tax Foundation is to educate taxpayers about sound tax policy and the size of the tax burden borne by Americans at all levels of government. From its founding in 1937, the Tax Foundation has been grounded in the belief that the dissemination of basic information about government finance is the foundation of sound policy in a free society.

"At The Bottom Of The Hole" by Jeff Furrow, Coal Miner

This is a song I wrote in support of my home state of West Virginia’s coal mining jobs. A great percentage of West Virginia’s earned wages comes from either coal mines, or industries that support them. If President Obama, and his team get the “Cap and Trade” passed, the power plants that burn coal to make electricity will be taxed to the extreme amount for burning coal. I am a proud coal miner, as well as being a musician, and I will sing anywhere at any time, to support my coal mining brothers.
