Why not abolish marriage certificates for everyone?

[Angrboda]

As for tax breaks simply for getting married, from my totally unbiased vantage point as a single person , that is totally crap. Why should I pay more taxes because through, choice or circumstance, I am unmarried? Everyone who earns a taxable income should be taxed individually. Just my opinion.

This is an example of the nirvana fallacy, that because something is not perfect, it therefore cannot be good. I believe single parents also get tax breaks, as well as other opportunities denied to childless individuals or couples, but I am not familiar with the specifics. That the system doesn't work perfectly is not a valid argument against using the system at all.
