Why not abolish marriage certificates for everyone?

There is one over-riding problem with the US tax system - I won't attempt to speak for anywhere else - but I do have some up close and personal experience with our own.

It began as an attempt to fund the government. It has instead been used for every form of tinkering/manipulation/patronage imaginable.

I recall one senator commenting years ago that he was amazed that we ever got anyone to move west without offering tax breaks.

I totally agree. Taxes used for social manipulation goes back ages. In fact that's the method that Muslims used to convert most of North Africa when they conquered it, different tax rates for Muslims and non-Muslims. Also on topic, why do we want more of society to be married and have children? Aren't there enough people in this world?
