So, ‘Americans’. Your government has told you what you're worth now - what's “fair.”

Only $400,000. To add insult to injury, your spouse (man or wife, or ‘significant-life-partner-now-married) is worth but a paltry $50,000 more. Beyond those numbers you are just a brood mare, a less-than-golden goose.

Put another way, a each married taxpayer is worth only 56% of
a single taxpayer, even worse than the 3/5ths rule for slaves.
