Marriage tax breaks

Should they be removed?

I would like to think they were proposed to support larger groups of people on the same income levels.  Now it is more common for two people to have combined income sources even in a married situation.  Perhaps, instead of repealing marriage tax breaks, we should combine them with income considerations - a married* household of singular primary income, or multiple incomes accumulating from only part-time jobs - and then factor in the number of legally underage dependents somehow.

* Thus that this argument stays on track, let's not concern ourselves with the nature of the marriage.

Single person here: yes. I was at meeting at my job recently and one of my coworkers was asking the boss for raise because he had a kid. Wtf is that?

you have to consider thought that if he is being honest then the raise is not for him its to better the life of his child.

He should be spending more of his own money on the child, stop buying beer, sell his car and television etc..
