On Feb. 10, the U. S. House of Representatives, by a vote of 268-158, passed the Marriage Tax Penalty Relief Act of 2000. This act will treat married taxpayers equally with unmarried taxpayers and not as second-class citizens who should pay more of their hard-earned money to the federal government.
