Taxes, taxes everywhere!

This video was so enlightening for my students. Those that work are so distressed upon getting their first paycheck, and finding out what is deducted in taxes. I've had students quit their job when they received their check and decided that the employer had "Cheated them out of all of their pay"! This video explained in simple language about their taxes and "Where did their money go?"
