A bunch of year ago I did some calculations. For a single person to live comfortably was $50K. That was a nice house, car, clothes, eating. typical entertainment, etc. without having to worry about money. I called it the comfort level of Income. Because of the shared expenses adding a spouse did not double the required income, it increased it to $70K to maintain the same level of living. And that included a 2nd car. And kids added about $7K each.

So YES! Taxing single people more is ridiculous if not unfair to single people.

When looking for a house most were in the $169-200K range. Was making good money for a manager herE in OKC and couldn't come near spending that much. Asked my relator how those people could afford those houses. She said, simple, they are in debt up to their eyeballs and despite appearances are struggling to make their minimum payments..
