They really do hate the Mormons, yet I think polygamy is more acceptable than gay marriage.

When they realized they could get tax breaks for it.

How do you figure?  Funny, but when they used the phrase, "Marriage penalty," they weren't joking.

Exactly....must destroy everything good and decent in our society so that socialism can thrive. "Thrive" may have been a poor choice of words there since socialism is anti-thriving for anyone and everyone but more like depriving anyone and everyone of anything.

Well said, sir.

It's just an online poll, but it's kind of interesting how very lopsided it is.  Both sides had the opportunity to stack the poll so one cannot say that the results are completely with merit when considering the views of the greater population.  It would seem that a tiny but noisy group of Leftists have taken over the helm of this great nation and are steering us into the shoals.  The tail is wagging the dog, so to speak.  That dynamic needs to change soon if the America we love is to survive.

From Latina magazine' which certainly shows how Hispanics lean on this issue.

Do You Support Same-Sex Marriage?
 [Yes] it's time for change.
 [ No ] I have traditional views.

Yes, it's time for change.
8.9%
No, I have traditional views.
91.1%]


Wouldn't it be neat if the people we sent to Washington DC to do our will actually did our will?  Now that's a novel idea.

True. But I know for a fact that if I had 16 wives...they would all be mad at me at same time.

Maybe I don't understand how the tax code works but my tax burden was less as was my wife's if we filed jointly. If we filed married but separately we would have paid more.

The lower tax happens when a married couple only has a single income earner.

Is that income only wages and salaries, or does it also include dividends, social security, and pensions?

Not sure, but I would think it includes all incomes. I know I'd pay more if I filed separately or as head of household than I do filing jointly, since my wife doesn't work.

I'm retired, and my wife works.

Elena Kagan, 2009: ‘There Is No Constitutional Right To Same-Sex Marriage’

Let’s take a stroll down memory lane.  It’s 2009, and Elena Kagan is answering questions during her confirmation hearing for the position of Solicitor General within the Obama administration. According to William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection, who posted this piece on March 25, this is what she had to say about gay marriage:

How does that work? A big, bad bull-dyke saying something like that? Hypocrite, self-loather, or gigantic liar.

Assuming Kagan conveniently forgets about what she's said, the tragedy is, nobody can force her to eat her words, throw her out, impeach her for having "evolved."

Right--but even if you file married/joint you'll end up getting hammered if you're a "DINK" (dual income, no kids) because you'll have to file Single-Zero and have some serious deductions, otherwise you're going to end up owing because ALL of the second income at the marginal rate for your income bracket rather than the lower rates. 

Couple that with some states (Maine and CA are two which come to mind) where your state taxes are based on your federal return.  You could in theory get hammered so hard if the spouse works part-time it's barely worth working.
