According to Mark Luscombe, a tax analyst for the firm CCH, that's a common scenario for high-earning, married couples. While Congress extended relief from the marriage penalty in the 10 and 15 percent tax brackets, those in higher tax brackets could still pay more. That means they could pay more than they would if they were single, earning the same amount. The more equal the two incomes are, the greater chance of a marriage penalty, explains Luscombe. Two incomes that would be taxed at 15 percent separately might together be taxed at 28 percent, for example.
Mosses are small, seedless plants that often grow in moist, shady places. More than 10,000 species, or types, of moss grow throughout the world. They belong to a group of plants called bryophytes. Liverworts and hornworts are other plants in this group.
A few bryophyotes play an important role in checking the soil erosion. They are capable of holding the soil by their extensive carpets, and prevent the soil erosion to some extent. (Also see âecology of bryophytesâ). 2. Packing material: Most of the mosses are used as packing material after being dried. They make a fairly good packing material in the case of glass ware and other fragile goods. Especially the dried peat mosses (Sphagnum spp.) are used to pack bulbs, cuttings and seedlings for shipment.
