Yes, but the reason why we have the marriage penalty is because for so many
years the IRS screwed single people and the IRS laws were changed to reflect
that.

Over the years under the democrat's raising of taxes and getting rid of
exemptions and no bracketing for inflation or deflation, the marriage
penalty that used to even is now uneven.

What is *not* needed is another stupid tweak to an immense 500 pound gorilla
set of laws and exemptions; what is needed is a simple directive that says,
"If you make X amount of money, you pay X amount of taxes.  And it doens't
matter if you're single, double, gay, ball less or had a masectomy, you pay
your fair share of taxes based upon how much you make.

As it stands now under the democrat's ideas, they want to go back to the old
standard and even worse, of screwing the single people.

Thirty years from now the single people will finally get relief from
congress for all the unfair tax breaks married people get, and then thirty
years after that the marrieds will be screaming about all the unfairness of
it all.  And so it goes.
