Roscoe Bartlett: “But no matter what millennium we are living in, the marriage tax…”

On the recordJuly 11, 2000

But no matter what millennium we are living in, the marriage tax penalty makes no sense. How can the Government justify charging married couples an extra $1,400 in taxes just because they are married? The Marriage Penalty Tax Relief Act is a reasonable bill that will put some common sense back into our Tax Code. Some people may continue to disagree about when the 21st century begins, but everyone can agree that working families should not pay extra taxes just because they are married. I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will join us in delivering fairness to working families and voting yes on the Marriage Tax Penalty Relief Act.
