Why do people who barely make it by get gigantic free tax refunds?

53.55 of that $200 is FICA, maybe another $7 is a state employee tax the rest is probably income tax and this will be based on how you filed your W-4 with your employer if you claimed 0 they take the maximum they can based on your gross, you probably need to change your W-4 depending on what your status is and if you have dependents.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
