Lower tax rates for women would have a number of benefits, two economists argue. But their ideas, which get high marks for originality, have drawn doubters.
Want to reduce the overall level of income taxes and see more women taking home paychecks?

Lest we forget, the Constitution is "living and breathing"....
Nothing will stop the endless drive these mindless crones of totalitarianism tote to do all they can do to make our country anything but what our founders worked so hard to make it.
A free country!
Correct and my understanding of the article is that just because of gender they should also be given an even lower rate.
It's the proliferation of preferred/protected people I'm protesting.
Across the board is a Good Thing.
Yes, more Marxist social engineering. Let’s make EVERY U.S. citizen pay a flat tax (fair tax, whatever)...I am tired of the Washington pols using confiscatory taxation on the producers in this country, TO BUY VOTES FROM THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO SELL THEIR VOTES for reduced or NO tax liability.
This is BS. It has to be stopped.
What a concept!
How does it feel to be considered a bigot by the Star and Sickle? ; )

You must have missed this part of the article "...Harvard University economist Alberto Alesina, who calls the idea "discrimination, the good kind."
You know, the good kind of discrimination against white gainfully employed males /disgust
This is such a horrible idea as to be ridiculous. I personally would like lower taxes for everyone. We need to strip the ability of politicians to use taxes for social engineering. It is a corruption that gives them power they do no deserve and have demonstrated they can not use responsibly.
To make for an even playing field where we are all the same and working together for the betterment of the whole.
You're not one of those "individual freedom" fanatics that our forefathers talked about are you? /snicker
Thats like sooo not new wave. /s
Janet Reno in her earlier years?
but of course... what was i thinking??? Atlas PUKED!!!
There is a democrat politician or two that may be monitoring and taking notes....
If you subscribe to the Minneapolis Star and Sickle you are doing the same.
the “study” from Harvard also wants to increase taxes for men to make up the difference.
They're protected from taxation for they aren't voting class citizens...yet.
Future Headline SCOTUS decides 5:4 it’s illegal to tax citizens at different rates based on gender; Justice Alito writing for the majority with Justice GinZBOIG writing for the minority.
:::
I wonder if the SCOTUS will decide that taxing you, based on your contribution to the GNP, how hard you work, how much initiative to be productive you have, is illegal??
Not if the socialists have their way. Even they cannot take more than 100% but they will try !!!
Only proving the point that to a liberal, "black and white, right and wrong" doesn't exist.
Only "gray" exists that can be used and abused to cater to personal favor in a timely fashion.
And later blame their stupidity for trying on a computer glitch. ; )
