Taxing marital income

[KTHParticipant 151]

I’m curious what other guys think about this…

One of the reasons that feminists can complain about a “wage gap” is that money acquired through a marriage isn’t taxed, and doesn’t have to be reported. There are a few other negative effects:

– It creates an incentive to over-spend on women and under-spend on services by other men. If you hire a guy to fix your car or remodel your house, he has to charge enough to cover income tax. If you pay a woman to live with you, she can keep it all (which she can’t do with other income).

– That’s an incentive for women to drop out of the workforce and look for a breadwinner, which shifts the tax burden to men.

– It puts more pressure on men to be high earners, which probably shortens our lifespans.

– It’s a one-way wedge issue. Affluent feminists can use income inequality to sew division among men while hiding their own unequal income from other women.

Any opinions?

Good observation, plus her living expenses are slashed to nothing when she slithers under a man’s roof.

I left that whole scenario along with all the others when I first started seeing women hit the wall, really f~~~ing up their lives in the choices they made.

I heard it straight from the horses mouth when this chick I knew (shiver me timbers) told me straight to my face how she married this guy just to f~~~ him out of his house, then did it. She was my gfs’ friend, she convinced my gf to end it with me, she was there when it happened and I knew it was coming out of the blue, 20 minutes earlier I felt it like an omen, I just knew.

I saw her (my xgf) about 6 years later in a shopping mall coming at me with some grubby dude, I said Hi when she recognized me but she was too ashamed to speak to me so she kept on walking. She was 19, a beautician, and beautiful when I met her, I was 27 and not yet established, but loads of potential, when I saw her she looked 35, messy hair (of all things) and an obvious junkie, looked like she got f~~~ed a thousand times.

As for me I was 32 when I saw her, I had my own shop, apartment, and construction on the side, a year later I bought my house, 3 years after that and some more female bulls~~~ I went full blown spontaneous MGTOW, It was like heaven opened up!

I’m not following you – what are you referring to here? I know alimony paid is tax deductible, and alimony received is taxable income. But where does income not have to be reported?

I will say that, in general, married couples are taxed at a lower rate than two single individuals. In this respect the tax code subsidizes married couples which, in general, produce future taxpayers. (At least it used to, but that’s another discussion).

Yes,income splitting is another of the Gov’t attempts to entice people into the marriage trap.

I think KTH was referring to the situation where the male is sole provider and the female stays @ home but
reaps the benefits of his income.

Even though come the inevitable divorce such a high premium is put on motherhood and having given birth
that she will still be entitled to a part of his estate.

Not bad for just looking after the house and pumping out kids,eh?

Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

I wanted to clarify that after I posted, but it was too late to edit. I meant:

money acquired through a marriage isn’t taxed, and doesn’t have to be reported, so it’s not included in the statistics that they’re using.

Yep, and it would be true to a lesser extent as long as the guy is the primary breadwinner.

BTW – I also forgot to add that tax favoritism benefiting women would hurt guys’ BATNA. Who GYOW if you still have to support her through Uncle Sugar?
