[quote=scaredycat]perhaps if there weren’t a marriage tax penalty, but instead a marriage incentive, maybe a marriage tax credit, people could at least say, well, honey, we do get a deduction for this even when things are bleak. I suggest $8,000 the first year, with $500 extra credit per year of marriage. Suspend the homebuyer tax credit.[/quote]
They already do this in the Navy. It is called BAH.
