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.
They are one of the oldest living vascular plants. The club mosses are part of the family Lycopodiaceae and the Phylum Lycophyta. The Lycophytes were once a large group of land plants that existed during the Carboniferous Period. These lycophytes grew to be as tall as 100 feet. About 250 million years ago though, most of the species had died out. The club mosses that we know of today are evergreen plants with needle-like leaves. Like other vascular plants, club mosses have true roots, leaves and stems. This allows for the plant to absorb water and minerals. The club mosses also have an underground horizontal stem called a rhizome.
