Beyond Tax: Getting Worse, Still --Notes --Bibliography --IndexTaxing Women comprises both an insightful, critical analysis of the gender biases in current tax laws and a wake-up call for all those concerned with gender justice to pay more attention to the pervasive impact of such laws. Providing real-life examples, Edward McCaffery shows how tax laws are actually written to punish married couples who file jointly. No dual-income household can afford not to read this book before filing their taxes. "Taxing Women is a must-have primer for any woman who wants to understand how our current tax system affects her family's economic condition. In plain English, McCaffery explains how the tax code stacks the deck against women and why it's in women's economic interest to lead the next great tax rebellion."-Patricia Schroeder "McCaffery is an expert on the interplay between taxes and social policy. . . . Devastating in his analysis. . . . Intriguing."-Harris Collingwood, Working Women "A wake-up call regarding the inequalities of an archaic system that actually penalizes women for working."-Publishers WeeklyWomenTaxationLaw and legislationUnited StatesWomenTaxationUnited Statesgender, bias, discrimination, taxation, economy, finance, married filing joint, income taxes, dual-income household, family, legislation, economics, history, nonfiction, social security, working women, dink, marriage penalty, irs, 1040, wages, federal tax laws, contract with america, child-care expenses, second earner, marginal rates.WomenTaxationLaw and legislationWomenTaxation336.2/0082McCaffery Edward J141563MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778713303321Taxing women501101UNINA
