What i mean is I'm a W2 employee so I pay half my taxes the company i work for pays half. If I decide to go into business for myself I'm responsible for the entire payment. Are these percentages the whole 100% so if I was in the 25% bracket, do I actually pay 12.5% and my employer pays 12.5%? Is this total?

If you think that a man gains financially by getting married……..I just don’t know what to say :)

But you’ve obviously never been married.

Looking at these brackets, makes me realize why so many people end up marrying. Besides the majority of people who claim love, I have to think there are some people who are enticed by a different incentive. The differences in tax brackets for single and married are HUGE(especially when counted twice for partners). The 32,000-78,000 single bracket is 25% while the 16,000-65,000 married bracket is only 15%. If I'm not mistaken, having two incomes would be easier to live off of than one, so, honestly, why is there such a huge incentive? I know the defense is "well they probably have kids," but not every married couple has children, and I think(not sure) there are other benefits on top of the married benefit for having dependents. I'm not saying people don't marry for love, I'm just upset that there is such a large difference. Am I the only one? I’m looking at earning 34,000 for my first full time job.
