Getting "money back" is a fallacy. If you work for a company that takes your taxes out of your paycheck (i.e. you're not self employed and paying taxes directly yourself) and you get a check from the IRS at the end of the year, you just lent the government YOUR money, interest free. You STILL pay the same amount of taxes.
Oh, and I paid a nice chunk of change last year in taxes and have since I was 16

I agree with this part. The rest is a much large picture and many more agendas.
I don't pay my taxes until the very last minute. I wait til the end of the year. I sock the money away throughout the year in a money market account, I collect the interest and give them their money when it's due.
I can't remember getting money back. I'm sure I probably did when I was younger and any employers took the money out to give back to me later.
It's a stupid system. But these are the people who create the laws we all must abide by.
