Why should anyone be punished with specific tax penalties for abstaining from marriage at a particular age? Would this apply to people pursuing marriage, but unable to marry? Would it apply to religious persons who've sworn an oath of celibacy? What about widows and widowers who're technically not married?

Also, why're you intentionally mimicking Trump's linguistic style? It's pretty creepy, honestly.

-Marriage is the cornerstone of all civilized society; and the budget is in deficit, so taxes should be used to incentivize this vital institution in place of subsidies. Yes, it would apply to all these except people over 65 (I'll edit that part in).

Trump's a winner; a real winner, he wins like nobody else does.

Based on what evidence do you assert that "marriage is the cornerstone of all civilized society"? How is long-term cohabitation substantively different from marriage? Would a long-term cohabiting couple be automatically considered married and, thereby, exempt from this tax penalty? I don't even know what social scientific evidence supports the assertion that universal marriage is a net good for society, so how's your argument anything more than personal opinion? And isn't it cruel to penalize widows and widowers with a tax penalty after they've lost their spouse?

Whether Trump's a winner or not, to mimic his linguistic style is creepy.
