> Many don't even seem to realize that all they are getting is a repayment for an interest free loan they have been giving to one of the largest and wealthiest organization/government in the world.
Ah, hmm, yes, they just don't realize. Those poor benighted fools.
Or maybe? Maybe they don't care. Take me, for example. I don't care. I've thought about it. I could spend more time screwing with my taxes to optimize my returns, or even go to no withholding whatsoever. Or I could enjoy my finite time on this planet, 'cause the amount of money we're talking about is marginal for me and I do pretty well for myself.
(And to make one thing very clear: the downright fearmongering about a "75% tax rate" are just that and are not worthy of further address. Even were there a salient point in the bottom of this well, this isn't it.)
