Easy Explanations - Help needed on defintions

I"m creating a pie chart of the breakdown of a person's check.

I need SIMPLE descriptions (for ages 8-12) to understand where the money is allocated &, briefly, the reason for the following:

Net Pay
Federal Income Tax
401K
Social Security Tax
NYS Income Tax
Medicare Tax
NY SUI/SDI Tax

Anyone bored enough to help me out?

Re: Easy Explanations - Help needed on defintions

May not be PC but:

Net Pay - what's leftover after THE MAN takes your money

Federal Income Tax - THE MAN

401K - What you need to have because THE MAN can't cover your retirement

Social Security Tax - Won't even pay for a gallon of milk in 20 years

NYS Income Tax - THE MAN PART DEUX
Medicare Tax - So you can wait for 3 hours to see a doctor

NY SUI/SDI Tax - Takes a year of appointments and appeals to get

Net Pay - the amount left when the following deductions are taken out

Federal Income Tax: money everyone pays to the gov't in Washington DC for things like our military, science and medical research, transportation

401K: money we voluntarily put into the bank for our retirement

Social Security Tax: money everyone pays to the gov't in DC for our retirement

NYS Income Tax: money to our state capital for things like schools, state highways, state parks

Medicare Tax: money to assist the elderly with health care costs

NY SUI/SDI Tax: money to help people who can't work if they get sick
