Why do people get more back on their taxes, than they put in?

I know some people lie about expemptions when they file, and will get back more money than was ever taken out. Or you claim all your kids and get more money than u put in? Thats not fair..why does it keep happening?

    Some people (and some corporations) will always cheat. This is why we can't afford to cut the IRS exam function.

    By the way, no matter what kind of tax system people propose, there will always be a need for tax investigations.
