6. Oh yea, for sure... Updated at 9:51 PM
But it just gauls me that the GOP has such a warped sense of what is really important...
First of all: it's "galls" as in "creates bitterness". The Gauls were an ancient Celtic tribe that engaged in numerous wars against the Romans in general and Julius Caesar in particular and they mostly came out the worst for it before meta-morphing and metastasizing into the overfed dainties known as the French.
Oh wait, maybe you were right the first time.
Secondly, America's divorce laws and marriage penalties are outgrowths of feminist politics. If marriage is too undervalued it isn't the RW's fault.
But if you were honest for 5 minutes you'd admit the OP isn't about your marriage as much as it is about you want other people to pay your way.
Marriage is, by one-half of its definition, a social compact wherein two people (of opposite gender) agree to mutually support each other even--and especially--in times when their situation is extreme. The principle of marriage presupposes moments of sickness and, poverty. That's why it is in the vows.
Third, again by liberal policies, no one can be made bankrupt from non-payment of medical expenses. It's the law that you have to be treated regardless of ability to pay.
Which is why people go to the doctor and don't pay...
So the doctor passes on the costs...
So your expenses are high.
You should enjoy what you have earned through your tireless efforts.
