    Also, is billed as a model for the federal government.

    U.S. Rep. Blake Moore, of Utah’s 1st District, told the Deseret News he hopes Ballard’s proposal will help him build momentum for similar changes at the federal level, which he tried to include in last year’s “big, beautiful bill.”
    Of course some want to eliminate income tax in Utah altogether. That would eliminate any marriage penalty, right?

      Federally, married couples are already advantages or at least equalized in most credits and deductions.

      I think it makes sense for Utah make breaks for married couples double or that for singles. Seems only fair.

      I doubt thought that their argument that a couple of hundred dollars in state tax breaks is a serious causal detriment to marriage decisions

        There will likely always be a marriage penalty in some cases. The tax code is too voluminous to ensure there is never a penalty for filing jointly versus the two individuals filing as single.

          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

              MBN, it seems like you find a ton of rage bait. You OK?

                Doing just fine, dude.

                Per rage and the report above, I would hope people would feel at least some rage over the way that father allegedly abused his children. mrs. myboynoah's best friend growing up lived in a similar environment and still suffers from the trauma.

                  There is an infinite supply of stuff out there to be enraged about.

                            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
