He also seems to be fairly witty.

Does she eat fish, eggs and the like or is she a total vegetarian?

[SupplySider]

She drinks milk and eats cheese, but no eggs, fish or foul for more than thirty years, and none while growing up. She has some beginning Alzheimer's now, but no arthritis, aterial disease, diabetes, cancer, or depression.

"Sure. One can file as "Married, Filing Seperately." This allows you to split the marriage penalty between yourselves, if you are a silly liberal family with seperate finances. The IRS is very accomodating to these things, you know... "

OK, I get that part :)

But how can they "force" unmarried "living together" couples to file as married?

[patton]

Circa 1980 or so, there was a rash of couples getting divorced (but staying together) to save on taxes.

The IRS started taking them to tax court, and sucessfully made them pay at the higher married rate.

Since that worked so well, they then when after anybody they could, that was in a "common-law marriage." That is, folks that live together for a certain period, etc.

Yes, the IRS can declare that a couple is married, and force them to pay higher taxes.
