There's a tax advantage to marriage if there's only one wage-earner, a far more common arrangement when the laws were written.
So, you and I will vote for different candidates. Not a surprise. I firmly believe a tax hike is coming my way no matter who wins -- the Pelosi/Rangel House will shove one down McCain's throat just as surely as an earlier one did to Bush 41 -- but I can't endorse Obama's stated plan with my vote.
It's not just my wallet I'm thinking of, either. Raising taxes during an economic downturn is poison for the economy. One of the great mistakes made in the early days of the Great Depression. It would be tragic to make the same mistake now.
