Purposeful Ramblings Through My Mind

This is, itself, one of the big objections to income splitting that often comes from a certain segment of the left: that it demeans single people by suggesting that the family is a more important unit of society than the individual. Naturally, as a crusty old conservative, I think that's true! But this is controversial precisely because many people feel that their rights not to form a family are threatened, that people are "punished" at tax time for being single. Or, as one woman no-longer-on-my-friends-list just described the income splitting concept, a conservative plan to economically force her into being pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen.
