Marriage peanlty tax

[Charles Brown]

As I understand this tax was instituted by Reagan. Overall it increased the tax on working people at the same time that taxes on corporations and the rich were lowered. Instead of removing the tax break for marrieds, there should have been a new tax break for singles. The problem is the conception that pits marrieds against singles rather than working vs rich.

Nothing.  That's what I was trying to say, among
other things.
