Yep but, the concept can not be based on gender alone.

If a woman earning $35K with a family of 2 is given a tax break that a man earning $35K with a family of 2 and both are single parents and the woman gets that tax break just because of her gender; it’s constitutionally illegal.

I don’t disagree with you. I’m just pointing out that the tax code as it exists already gives lower marginal rates to people with lower income regardless of the reason for that lower income.

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!

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

Has constitutionality ever deterred feminazis?
