I was raised in a single-parent household. There is no discount for being a single parent, but our tax code makes it harder for single parents to get relief than married couples. My bill with @RepKatiePorter and @RepDonBeyer would change that. parents.com/news/new-bill-…
@RepPressley @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer Single mom since my daughter was 3 mos. old. Today she is 22. I did it alone, zero child support, finished college, but was scared a lot and cried a lot. This would have made such a huge difference in our lives! ❤️👏👏👏
@RepPressley @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer I was raised by a single mom with no child support. This issue affects so many. Good luck and let us know how we can help! 💜
@RepPressley @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer Independent parents are soooo grateful for y’all! 🙏
@RepPressley @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer Please talk about this being a deliberate goal by the GOP. They demonize single parenthood, and make laws/policies that reflect that. They obsess over family structure, but not actual values.
@RepPressley @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer This is fab news. Those of us single parents who struggled for 20 years and are now behind in retirement savings would also appreciate some help - like the windfall elimination issue!
@RepPressley @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer Get what's good! You are a beacon of hope. Keep on keepin' on.
@RepPressley @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer Single Parent raised a Daughter, all grown now and a Mom herself. It's extremely difficult for a single parent raising a child as most everything is geared towards a couple. Thanks for speaking up, you have gained my respect 🙌.
@RepPressley @JamaalBowmanNY @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer Former single mom - thank you for doing this! 💜
@RepPressley @RepKatiePorter @RepDonBeyer We should also look at correcting the marriage penalty. Married filing jointly was created for 1 income earning families. Those of us who are married and both parties work are paying more than if we were allowed to file head of household vs mfs or mfj.
