In the last example it should be mentioned that if the woman gains a good husband and gains a good father for her children and gains $40,000 household income on top of her 20,000 then even though her taxes have increased her personal situation has become wildly better and her financial situation has become so much better! We may call it a marriage penalty but I highly doubt she regards herself as penalized.
ROCKLIKEACOBB that’s how it works in Australia, everyone is assessed as individuals for income and tax purposes. But they asses your families income when determining family tax benefit (benefit. not refund of paid credit) and whether or not you have to pay the Medicare Levy surcharge. As a single you can earn up to $90,000 until you turn 35, then you need to purchase private hospital cover otherwise you will receive a 1% increase every year to your taxes until you get it. As a family or couple you can earn up to $180,000 before that applies.
This whole thing should be illegal. They shouldn’t be able to penalize you for getting married, marriage was originally a religious ceremony and so by penalizing people to get married they’re discriminating against them for practicing their religion. Nothing changes but a piece of paper but the government can take thousands and thousands of dollars from you, that’s not right.

Government could have no involvement in marriage what so ever and just tax everyone equally...or just not tax them at all.

Legal marriage and "spiritual" marriage are separate things. Legal marriage is a joke religiously speaking. If you don't like it don't get married.
But what if only one of them has income?
He already said it in the video. It’s Couple A
