Default Re: my solution to the gay marriage argument

[ QUOTE ]
Tax breaks for married people are so they can provide for their children.

[/ QUOTE ]

So what are tax breaks for dependents?

[ QUOTE ]
If you're gay and want to commit yourself to another gay person for the rest of your life, that's fine... good for you. But you're not having any children and as such, shouldn't be tapping into a benefit designed for people who do.[ QUOTE ]


Gay people can and do have children. And they get the dependent deduction.

[ QUOTE ]
As for the married people without children? I guess they're getting a break. But the government can't be bothered to make sure the people filing for tax refunds are even legal citizens, much less legal citizens with children... so I wouldnt expect the tax laws to change any time soon.

This is so far off in the weeds it's hilarious. "Well, that's the law, so STFU!"
