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 Weekly 606 $aWomen$xTaxation$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aWomen$xTaxation$zUnited States 610 $agender, bias, discrimination, taxation, economy, finance, married filing joint, income taxes, dual-income household, family, legislation, economics, history, nonfiction, social security, working women, dink, marriage penalty, irs, 1040, wages, federal tax laws, contract with america, child-care expenses, second earner, marginal rates. 615 0$aWomen$xTaxation$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aWomen$xTaxation 676 $a336.2/0082 700 $aMcCaffery$b Edward J$0141563 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778713303321 996 $aTaxing women$9501101 997 $aUNINA
