Answer:
False
Explanation:
Some married couples pay higher taxes because they file their taxes together. This is called a marriage penalty, and generally occurs when both spouses earn similar amounts of money. If each spouse was to file separately, their income taxes would generally be lower. But if one spouse earns significantly more than the other, then filing their taxes together lowers their total income taxes.
Due to Christian values, American laws generally favor established families. That rule applies to almost all countries with similar values since Western cultures consider the family as the foundation of society (husband, wife and children). But even single parents benefit from differential tax rates, since they can file as head of households. Same sex marriages are legal, so they can also file as married even if they are not conventional families.
