They never mention the huge advantage it is to one-income families, such as mine, that we can file jointly instead of separately. Here's the opening paragraph from my old post, "<a href="http://www.millennialstar.org/the-procreative-mormons-suck-the-nation-dry-tax-credit/" rel="nofollow">The 'Procreative Mormons Suck the Nation Dry' Tax Credit</a>": "You can earn $100,000 and pay no federal income tax. You say 'John, how can I earn $100,000 and pay no federal income tax?' First, earn $100,000. Now, you say, 'John, what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, "You have never paid taxes"?' Four simple words, although not so simply said: 'I have eight children!'"

Here’s the opening paragraph from my old post, “The ‘Procreative Mormons Suck the Nation Dry’ Tax Credit“:

“You can earn $100,000 and pay no federal income tax. You say ‘John, how can I earn $100,000 and pay no federal income tax?’ First, earn $100,000. Now, you say, ‘John, what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, “You have never paid taxes”?’ Four simple words, although not so simply said: ‘I have eight children!’”
