a single person making $240 weekly and claiming 1 allowance would have $13 withheld for income taxes.A married person making $240 weekly and claiming 1 allowance would have $3 withheld for income taxes.Do you think this is fair?Why or Why not?

No, it is not fair. If the money they earn is the same, the money withheld should be the same and their status should not affect it.
