    Well, as I said, it shouldn't matter when you're married as it's all YOUR money (jointly). However, if you didn't understand that when you were married, it's probably one reason you are getting divorced.

    If you hired someone to do your soon to be exes job in which by I mean the household chores, and if you want to be crude we can include the sexual favors (if there were any; which also may be why you are getting divorced but that would be another subject I suppose) you would be paying a lot of money for all of it.........

    marriage is an institution if you like those kinds of places.........(me quoting someone else I am sure.............)

    that's what i'm saying, if you file jointly then it's like having one income of $75,000. $75,000 is $75,000, whether one person makes it or two people make it and chose to lump it together. So the same amount of money is taxed less on a married couple than on a single person. If you get married and file your taxes together then you are assuming "one" income. But the married "one income" is favored by the government over the single one income. it's a subsidy that is not a remedy for anything and is therefore creating it's own market failure rather than trying to correct one.

    think of it this way: only one person in the married couple makes the income. should be taxed the same as a single person's income, but it's not, just because the person is married. that makes no sense at all. it's complete discrimination.
