If I'm single and my best friend is a government employee, what's stopping me from paying my $12 for our marriage license so I can get put on to his healthcare plan?

Nothing. I support you. Marry any dude you want. Meanwhile I suspect most men will hold out to find a woman they want to marry and gay guys will wait to find partners they want to spend their life with. But if you want to live with some dude to share his benefits good for you.

And this is where our true disconnect lies.

I don't believe the government should be inflated even further so as to suck more money out of me. You do.

You = liberal = high taxes and a nanny state
Me = conservative = low taxes and a gov't that leaves me the [censored] alone

Think much?

If so, then you should be railing against the govt using tax law to manipulate behavior and allocate selective benefits -- this is what a nanny state does when it doesn't leave people the [censored] alone.

But like many conservatives, you are all for using the govt to impose beliefs and selective benefits and not leave people alone when it is doing something that jives with your personal value system.

Hypocrisy ftw.
