[quote=AN][quote=jstoesz]The real question is, why should the government recognize marriage at all? All these tax savings make no sense to me.[/quote]
What tax savings are you referring to? AFAIK, there’s a marriage tax penalty, but I never heard of a tax saving. info on Marriage Penalty. You can also go here and try 2 scenarios, 1 is 2 single people making $100k each and then do another one where a married couple make $200k combine. Then tell me which couple pay more?[/quote]

Actually, all you have to do is look at the definition of “rich”… It’s $250k for a married couple or $200k for individuals..
