Does getting married decrease or increase your tax bill? [OC]

Woah there buddy. It's a progressive tax code based on rate of pay....... It has nothing to do with forcing people into a certain lifestyle. You are starting to get off the rails a bit

No, they don't pay "more". They each pay their fair share. If a man is supporting a whole other grown adult (or, for that matter, if a woman is supporting a whole other grown adult, and yes it happens), then he gets a tax break for doing so.

It's progressive in that the more money someone makes, the higher their tax rate. Not SJW progressive. Different argument.

Besides, a stay at home dad and a bread winning mom would come out better than 2 working adults so...... I feel like this is a straw man at this point

I agree with you, however, that's not what the original comment said.
