Are any of the "facts" and figures in this article true then?
I only know that my son is serving his second year in the Navy and that the government took $800 in income tax out of his $15,500 annual wage. Fortunately, he is single, but he was making 2-3 times that wage at a local factory.
My daughter is also in the Navy and after she got her refund she didn't pay hardly anything in Income Tax! In fact she got her bonus and got back all but a few dollars of what they took out for Income Tax.
