    RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sep. 11, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) ----Fleetwood Enterprises' RV Group, a leading producer of recreational vehicles, held its 2008 Top Dealer Award Ceremony during its National Dealer Meeting at the Paris Hotel and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. on Wednesday, September 3, 2008.

    Fleetwood's Top Dealer awards are given to dealers who have sold the most units by brand in a 12-month period. This year, Fleetwood paid special tribute to those dealerships that were number one in the nation by brand, as well as number one overall for motor homes and travel trailers. Fleetwood also recognized its "most improved" motor home and travel trailer dealers.

    "We have the best dealer network in the industry," said Paul Eskritt, president of Fleetwood's RV Group. "From the product development and planning stages to the delivery of the final product to the customer, our dealers are a crucial part of our success. The Top Dealer award is just one way we acknowledge their sales excellence and thank them for their ongoing support of Fleetwood."

    Marriage Penalty

    Sure, we know some of you are saying the term "marriage penalty" is redundant. In fact, of all the costs associated with getting married (have you seen the cost of a wedding cake lately?), the marriage penalty can be the worst.

    Here's how it works: Mr. and Mrs. Right walk down the aisle in wedded bliss and suddenly they¿re a two-income household. If both make roughly the same amount of money, they can be pushed into a higher tax bracket. That's bad, since the higher the bracket, the higher the tax. So, if both were single, they'd end up writing two smaller checks to the tax man that, if combined, would add up to less than the giant check they write in a state of wedded bliss.

    Is that fair? We're not touching that, but there is a flip side that few people talk about. The marriage penalty only kicks in if both members of the couple make close to the same amount of money. If there's a big disparity in pay, there's actually a tax advantage. Call it the marriage bonus.

    And, it¿s important to remember that there are other financial benefits, such as lower life-insurance rates or health care premiums, that can make up for the extra tax couples pay. So don't let Uncle Sam stop you from saying, "I do."
