[1]A few days ago, HuffPost Live [2] invited me to participate in one of their webcasts, which was described in part with the following sentence: Being single is normally viewed as being much easier than a long-term relationship or having a wife and kids but when it comes to tax breaks and healthcare the couples have it easier.
I was eager to take part in a spirited debate. As it turns out, HuffPost decided against doing the segment. But I appreciate their raising the point. The first part of the description includes such a fundamental question, which I’m surprised I’d never thought to ask. And now, I’m curious to get your feedback. Is being single normally viewed as easier? Please, tell me.
