One more reply to you. It’s interesting that you do admit that there is a tax penalty based on married or not. Do you believe that people should be penalized/taxed based on marrriage status?
Do you think people should be taxed based on marital status? I kind of think that everyone should be taxed at one rate, and that should be a % of what you make. My tax return could be done on n index card with three lines ... how much did you make? ____ What is [blank %] ___________ send it in!
