[net.taxes] Marriage penalty - doesn't anyone like marriage?

barbara@shark.UUCP (Barbara Siefken) (02/23/85)

Although there are a lot of things I complain about in my taxes,
I enjoy marriage too much to measure it by $2000 worth of taxes.

Doesn't anyone out there think that marriage is worth it?

If you read other newsgroups like net.marriage,net.general etc.etc.. looks
like it takes too much sacrifices to stay married !!

I've been there. I'll be there again, GLOS willing. One thing I won't allow
to make the decision is whether or not the government penalizes me for
getting married (which it does...). The only thing that matters is if the
marriage is good.

Marriage is hardly worth money if you can do it for free!  No pun intended.
I'm married and would gladly get divorced and live in instead for 2k per year.
Unfortunately my wife won't go for it,  I wonder if a divorce could settle the
issue?
