I disagree with financially rewarding people to get married. Marriage is not a pancera to all of society's ills and some marriages are desperately unhappy. Being happily married is down to luck rather than crap like.
""The values of marriage are give and take, support and sacrifice; values that we need more of in this country.""
A marriage is made up of two people and sadly its sometimes the case that one of them is a total twat. Why should the person who isn't a twat be penalised for getting a much needed divorce? I feel that the government should respect the fact that some people don't want to get married and they and their children are perfectly happy the way they are!
I see no reason why this allowance should be given to a childless person just because they are married. I feel it would be better to plough the money into tax credits.

To think that a marriage tax break is stupid and David Cameron is a smug twat
