“The truth is that 36 million married taxpayers, low and middle income taxpayers, deserve to be treated fairly. Americans should not be taxed more because they are a working woman. When a woman goes to work, her husband goes to work, she ought to be treated the same as every other American. But, we have a penalty right now if married couples work, and they do not pay taxes the same way as two Americans would if they were two men sharing an apartment. They do not pay taxes the same way that they would if they were a man and woman who were not married. It is discrimination, plain and simple, against working families, against working couples. It is wrong. That is why we want to get rid of the marriage tax penalty. It is unfair. It is immoral for the United States to do this.”
