Should the government give financial aid to young people to help them get married and establish homes?

They already do... in the form of tax breaks.  Sure, why not? |

Yep...
It helps them to get stabilised...
But not too much for they to depend on the benefit...

I don't see why, how does anyone benefit from them getting married but them?

Sure why not? Everyone could use a little help, especially when you need to make AT LEAST $2000 a month to just get by on bills, food and other stuff., (soap, shampoo, toilet paper, toothpaste, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc..).

Looks like someone is a little obsessed with hygiene...
Why not give funancial aid to all young people?

No they should not. What does your relationship have to do with your monetary status? IF anything you should be charged more because you have a larger income. What if you're gay and can't be married to your spouse?
The whole idea of marriage is stupid. What can you do married that you can't do in girlfriend and boyfriend? Marriage is a financial agreement that often costs men (And women in some cases) half of their possesions.

You're trying to better yourself?" *kicks citizen in the groan* "That'll teach you to do that!" The way our current tax codes are set up, a lot of married people end up in a higher tax bracket and are penalized for marriage. I think that instead of looking at generalizations about young married couples, the government should go down to the source of the problem and provide aid for those on a purely financial basis, and not base it on something that does always mean that there is a need for aid. |

Shouldn't they be in a higher tax bracket though? They make more, so they have to pay more, isn't that the setup unless you're really rich and then you don't have to pay very much because you can write everything off? A married couple really doesn't help society at all in their being married, and it's doubtable whether they're really doing much for themselves.

Why not make them pay taxes seperately, and ignore marriage? That way there is no penalization or bonus.

What do you mean? Religion is great! Without it we would have to ask questions like "why are we here" and think of real answers. THINK!!! Thinking is just unamerican. Let's just go with "God did it, end of story."

Better themselves? How so? They could do anything they do married single. What if they're gay and can't marry their partner? Are they not alowed to 'better themselves?' The way I understand it is that married couples get tax cuts, not higher taxes. |
