Yaroslav Romanchuk, economist and Board Member of Free Nation, shared a powerful analysis of how long Ukrainians actually work for the State — and how little time remains for themselves and their families.
October 25 is Ukraine’s unofficial Freedom from Government Day. That’s the symbolic date when the average Ukrainian finally stops working to cover taxes, inflation, regulations, and public debt — and begins working for themselves.
Key points:
- Over 62% of the year, Ukrainians work to feed the Leviathan of the State.
- The tax and regulatory system punishes honesty and rewards schemes.
- This burden is not just economic — it erodes initiative, culture, and morality.
At Free Nation, we believe:
- Taxation should be simple, transparent, and minimal.
- Every citizen should know their Tax Freedom Day and Freedom from Government Day, just like they know Independence Day.
- These dates are essential indicators of economic freedom, dignity, and the true value of citizenship.
