 If I include my health/dental insurance premiums, home owners association fees, student loans, etc... My tax freedom day would be later in the year too.
And I don't pay more in taxes than food, clothing, and housing.  Housing is the only one that is a large number.  Last year it was $2800/food, $100 clothes/shoes, and $11,000 mortgage.
