Taking the ordinary deduction of $4000 in 1913 Husband Wife (They could afford to get married, so it passed as legislation)
1040 year 1913 Instructions #19
19. An unmarried individual or a married individual not living with wife or husband shall be allowed an exemption of $3,000. When husband and wife live together they shall be allowed jointly a total exemption of only $4,000 on their aggregate income. They may make a joint return, both subscribing thereto, or if they have separate incomes, they may make separate returns; but in no case shall they jointly claim more than $4,000 exemption on their aggregate income.
A stamp cost two cents (1913) so lets do the relationships of .02 cents to .49 cents with 4000 dollars (1913) with present day cost of a stamp as .49 cents. (answer) is $98,000. People under 98,000 are tax slaves. I get the word slaves from simple Plato's words. (He's not that hard to read, don't let them fool you.) What an answer $98,000 dollars. The bull shit of raising minimum wage is that, bull shit. Raise the “exemption of only $4,000 on their aggregate income.” (from above) to $98,000, MAGIC, the people can afford marriage. Those people at that wage level (minimum wage)are force to cheat to get their own money back. The people who don't cheat end up homeless.
Those minimum wagers recognize very quickly they are force out of relationships. The minimum wagers are supporting the United Nations, Public Television, instead of their own children, they support people who loathe (hate) them instead.
