    My wife and I pay more taxes because we are married without children. If we were not married and filed as singles, our tax burden would be much less. But IDK really, mostly because I enjoy living in a working society and that means paying taxes.

        Our wages are not really equal and when we tried to separate it all to file separately, any benefit only helps one of us at the expense of the other.
