Is there ever a fair share of what others have earned?
Paycheck sticker shock. Anyone who's ever received a first paycheck remembers that feeling.
Taxes take a bite out of earnings. But it's more than just income taxes, unemployment, and other payroll taxes. People often forget that taxes are everywhere! The phone bill, the gas pump, an airline ticket, things we buy...taxes, taxes, taxes!
Learn more about taxes, from the ancient Egyptians and Greeks to Europe's VAT tax. Find out where some of that money goes!

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?"
