Why not abolish marriage certificates for everyone?
#21
RE: Why not abolish marriage certificates for everyone?
Quote:Effectively, it's a tax cut for married people...just because they are married. I think that's unfair on single people. Note that this allowance is given even if the couple don't have children / aren't planning on having children. It has nothing to do with children.

The US has both, Divi Tiberio.


Still...I find this far more infuriating.

Quote:4. Federal tax breaks for wealthy hedge fund managers: Special tax breaks for hedge fund managers allow them to pay only a 15-percent rate while the people they earned the money for usually pay a 35-percent rate. This is the break where the multimillionaire manager pays less of a percentage in taxes than her secretary. The National Priorities Project estimates this costs taxpayers $83 billion annually, and 68 percent of those who receive this special tax break earn more than $462,500 per year (the top 1 percent of earners).
