Ironic that the driving force for marriage “equality” was insurance coverage. Now, companies are doing away with spousal coverage and most will soon probably do away with insurance and dump their employees on Obamacare. It would behoove us to remove all marriage advantages from the tax codes and any other place they exist as that is the leverage used for “equality.”
Incidentally, I read that some of the biggest equality backers are divorce lawyers.
I am for dropping all deductions and credits in the tax code. Flat tax of a set percentage period. No mortgage write-offs, no expense deductions, no child credits, nothing. Tax everyone who draws a paycheck at a rate between 10-20% and deduct it from the checks and cut us a receipt showing our share of the government yoke and move on.
This won’t be allowed since it would basically destroy the tax preparer industry and gut the IRS.
