I have a co-worker who has had 2 children over the last 3 years, with each child she got 6 weeks of maternity leave. That's 12 weeks total for her over the course of 3 years. While she was away from work who do you suppose did her work? Who do you suppose also had their own work to complete? Who do you suppose got no additional compensation for doing the work of 2 people? When one of her kids get's the sniffles and she needs to stay home with her sick child who do you think has to pick up the slack and complete her work as well as their own (at the same level of compensation mind you)? When it comes to scheduling who get's the shifts of their choice first because of their childcare issues? Does it make me an ass to think this is not right? Just because I'm single with no kids it doesn't mean I don't want to have a life.
Why do single people pay more in taxes? If I, as a single person, and a married couple filing jointly, report the exact same taxable income, my income tax will always be more than that of the married couple. The married couple pays less even if only one person in the couple is employed. How is this fair?
