Yes, scholarships is another

Yes, scholarships is another thing that screws people over. Just because two students are married it doesn't mean they have more income. It's pretty silly. I just think that each individual should be treated equally by the law regardless of marital status. Marriage really should be a personal matter.

@Jared

I feel your pain.  I feel like the entire tax code is very anti-women because a second income is penalized heavily.  I'm not even a feminist, but I feel that it is made to keep women home.
