Married couples 'to get tax break by 2015'

[dakyras]

well thats ok then - there must be a surplus of money in the governments coffers, otherwise it would be ludicrous to give an arbitrary group of people a tax break.

You automatically inherit if you are married...

not quite correct.

You inherit automatically in the absence of a will if you are married.

The vast majority of people have wills, so this is a nothing in the vast majority of cases. Next!

There are more.. but you can find them yourself...

There's very very few nowadays. I think you might have nailed the only one above.

[eFestivals]

Lots of people get tax breaks... Why not us perfect married folk

Because you ain't no more perfect than anyone else, and you're not deserving of it? Just perhaps.

BTW - 83% of people think you're wrong about the CB cut. Told you!

Do you really think I was being serious there

not quite correct.

I -1'd your post, but I meant to hit the +button. Sorry

[oafc0000]

No i don't but it does occur to me that going on some of your conversations it would not surpise me if you professed to love women but really do not respect them.

I think you really should back that up... Its quite a twaty thing to say to be frank...

[oafc0000]

Oh, I don't think that's fair. Oaf is equally obnoxious and disrespectful to everyone with whom he might disagree.

[oafc0000]

In my experience jokes are based in truth and i'm not sure it would occur to you to make a sexist comment unless you had at least some foundation of sexism.

It a wonder you manage to get yourself dressed in the morning

[RABun]

So basically, besides one joke, you have nothing

[oafc0000]

ok....

You subscribe to a classically mysoginistic religion

You have old fashioned views on family units

You are intent on keeping your daughter in a cage

You make comments about women breeding to get council houses/scrounge off the dole blah blah blah

An off the cuff comment about how women drain your credit cards reveals your true feelings about your role as provider and theirs as drainers

anymore needed? it might be that i have the wrong impresssion but that is the impression i have.

Your taxes aren't being used to "give" a gift... Someone is just being asked to pay very slightly less into the system...

As for the bolded bit... Maybe the Torys are blowing it all out of proportion...

[oafc0000]

But why, when there are millions of unemployed, thousands defaulting on mortgages, are we asking married couples to "to pay very slightly less into the system". Tax breaks should be targetted towards people in need of them.

[eFestivals]

Maybe if more people were married in strong relationships there would be greater protection from defaulting on mortgages and such like ?

This is the premise behind what the tories plan to do.

But it's complete and utter bollox, without a shred of evidence to support it, and much to strongly suggest it's completely wrong.

Tory thinking eh? Never let the truth get in the way of a 'good' idea.

[RABun]

I think marriage is a good thing and there is nothing wrong with the system supporting a good thing... IMO...

Utter rubbish IMO. I think lots of things are good ideas, but I don't think this means they should be supported by the system.
