Default Re: my solution to the gay marriage argument

(1) You're still not addressing the fact that marriage benefits extend well beyond tax breaks for children.

If you have that kind of money to pay for a baby, you don't need a small tax break from the government per annum.

I know quite a few people adopting and you can easily spend $10K depending on how you go about it. And... the people who adopt are not often wealthy. To assume because the pay the money means they have a lot of disposable income is illogical. Many people want children and struggle to get the money required to adopt. And, of course, once they get the money to pay for the upfront costs, they still have the additional expenses which come with raising a child.



But again... the tax breaks is not really the driving motivator of gay marriage.
