Still, you can't un-stupidfy people.

There is an edit when filling out the fafsa when the student enters taxes paid as equal to adjusted gross income (say they made 25000, and they enter that they paid 25000 in taxes.) A box pops up and says "dude, you just said you paid out your entire income in taxes. Are you really sure?" More often than not, they will say "yes, I'm sure...hmph." Then again "are you surely sure?" "YES I'm surely sure you damn computer." Then they bitch when selected by the feds for verification.

I can't imagine voters are a smarter population, on the average, than students.
