Default Re: Should the Bush Tax cuts be made permanent?

I’m highly doubtful that you actually accrued any benefit from the ill-named “Marriage Penalty” tax cut, as the vast overwhelming majority of couples actually pay LESS taxes because they are married and file jointly. The only group that COULD have paid higher taxes was a tiny fraction of the couples who are dual high-income taxpayers, but even they could have avoided any extra tax simply by filing under ‘Married Filing Separately’.

Just ANOTHER benefit for the wealthy.
