Sure doesn't. My wife and I made the same amount of money, within 1% of each other, when we got married. We both changed out deduction from single to married. Tax bill came around and we owed 10k.

Our income at the time, combined, was ~160k.

The loss of EITC affects low incomes.

The mortgage deduction affects anyone with a "large" mortgage, but at current housing prices "large" is becoming the norm.
