I don't think that's an accident or a random happening either. We've been infiltrated

I do find it weird married pays more in taxes than head of household and unmarried
I thought it was just the opposite

Pretty sure it is… I think he was just straight up lying. Tax rates for married couples are definitely lower than for singles

It takes 2 mins to google baw:

LINK

A head of household and an adult filing separately only hits the final 37% bracket at like 800k vs 700k filing married

It’s lower for EVERY bucket

There are too many women with gross, fugly, trashy tats and men know they’re not good for a long term relationship (marriage).

Dragging the tat discussion over here. Lol

Thankful daily that Mrs. FCP basically sat on me until I proposed. Knew instinctively she was/is “The One,” but left to my own devices, I would have avoided marriage for another decade. We will celebrate 25 years soon—together over half our respective lives at this point. Best decision of my lifetime, and there ain’t a close second.

Oh, and hi sweetie.

You can have a family without a piece of paper from the Government.
If the Government stopped issuing Marriage Licenses would you not be capable of having a family ?

From your link:

A man making $220k pays 32%

He marries a woman making $80k, they pay 24%.

This will get downvoted and this seems like a fringe opinion

But we have no racial cohesiveness anymore

Hispanics are allowed to be proud and they can identify in a common brotherhood or union with other Hispanics

Blacks are certainly allowed the same

Whites are told not to procreate and share in the common union of culture and language and heritage

So then you end up with people thinking the purpose of life and of a country is to just work and buy nice things

Not to raise humans and expand their culture and their heritage and their identity

They're told to be ashamed of the original sin of being white... so they feel ashamed to procreate

As designed

When, in future generations, scholars look for the key reasons for the collapse of Western Civilization, they’ll point to these main causes:

1. The progressive movement
2. The feminist movement
3. The “Sexual Revolution”

What are you talking about, man?… your link directly proves your statement wrong. Unless you were trying to say the opposite of what you accidentally said?

Because the charts clearly show that married joint filers pay lower rates than single individuals. Is that what you were trying to say? Because your statement was the exact opposite of that



$200,000 of income as a single individual pays 10% on the first $11,000, 12% from there to $44,725, 22% from there to $95,375, 24% from there to $182,100, and 32% from there to $200,000

$200,000 of income as a married couple pays 10% on the first $22,000, 12% from there to $89,450, 22% from there to $190,750, and 24% from there to $200,000

That feels like it significantly benefits the married couple, no? My apologies if saying it felt like a lie was an inaccurate reflection of your intentions… but I don’t really see where a claim that singles are advantaged over married couples comes from. Help me out here.

These things have been declining in America:

Hard work
Loyalty
Selflessness


The fact that a good marriage incorporates all of these things is no coincidence.
