Comment: The current method is badly biased against married couples. The $25,000/single $32,000/married figure means that my wife & I will have to get a divorce & live together to get the money out of our IRA's & 401Ks. Those firures may have seemed generous when originally written but they have never been adjusted for inflation. Note also that they include not just income & SS but withdrawals from retirement accounts. The best way to keep it revenue neutral would be to allow $19,000 per person but I know that won't fly so I only request that the gap be reduced by lowering the single amount & raising the married amount as much as is politically possible.
