As do mine, but in their tax brackets, they get it all back come April 15. BTW, my oldest two kids (20 year old daughter, 22 year old) are interested in current affairs, politics, history, etc., but haven't wanted to vote yet. They still feel (wrongly, might I add) that their engineering studies haven't left them with time enough to be adequately informed on the issues. That, and they are thoroughly disgusted with the political system as it stands. I think they're afraid that any politician who got their vote would be encouraged to keep up the silly BS that got them elected.

C'mon Finn! They will not get all of their tax dollars back, unless they weren't taxed for Social Security and Medicare. How many times do I have to tell people that those are taxes too?!
