UPDATED: Would it kill the Fraser Institute to give a guy some credit?

The Fraser Institute is a think tank here in Canada that believes in "a free and prosperous world where individuals benefit from greater choice, competitive markets, and personal responsibility."

I would call them a right-wing think tank. But they're pretty darn media savvy. One of their standards each year is the proclamation of "Tax Freedom Day" -- the day on which Canadians theoretically have earned enough money to pay all of their tax burden for the year and begin "working for themselves."

They claim the day fell on June 6 this year. They say the latest one was June 24 in 2000, while in 1961, it was two months earlier, meaning we were less burdened then.

As part of their blitz on Tax Freedom Day this year, they have a Video and MP3 available of a song somebody wrote about taxes.

It's not a bad song. Kinda cute, kinda funny. But I've got two pet peeves.

1. The Fraser Institute should have been smart enough to put embed codes in or to post it publicly to YouTube so I could put it here. They didn't, so I can't. The Share button is fine, but come on, make it easy!
   
2. They never mention who the guy is who sings it (and presumably wrote it.) Would it have killed them to give him some credit?
   

Admittedly, this is no Conference Board of Canada-level scandal. But Fraserites -- could you make it easier for us out here in the blogosphere?

UPDATE: The video is on Youtube. They just don't SAY it is.



Ciao,
