1. The double deduction for marriage so that we single folks are not forced to subsidize that. Single adults are now a majority.

So me and the wife both work. Are you saying we should only have a $12,000 standard deduction? That sounds like a marriage penalty, not a subsidy.

“Single adults are now a majority.”
This is an untrue statement though it is being pushed by the pop type liberal magazines. According to the census more like 31% of people were single in 2016 and only about 12% had never had children by age 40.
Always question blanket statements.
