All year in 2008, former *National Journal Tech Daily* editor and [Beltway Blogroller](http://beltwayblogroll.nationaljournal.com/archives/2008/01/all_good_blogs.php) Danny Glover will be cataloging [all the taxes his family pays](http://taxationwithrepresentation.wordpress.com/).

“How much do you really pay in taxes?” he says. “If you knew, you might get angry. You should — and I hope this blog will get you riled.”

Note the [Weekly Tax Bite](http://taxationwithrepresentation.wordpress.com/category/weekly-tax-bite/) posts, where he tracks the tax-man’s weekly take in sales taxes, gas taxes, and so on.
