If NJ could tax feeding Christians to the lions or bear bear baiting or cock fights or humans marry animals - they would do it.

What about legalized pot and prostitution? How much would they help the economy? Let’s not be shy here, if we’re going to throw morality overboard!

If Cali does not offer refunds, then it’s been a great scam.

But I'm talking multiple marriages here! If one gay marriage can make that much of a difference we're talking billionaire caterers! Imagine the sales tax!

former gov brown claims that the marriages performed during the time the law was in effect are still in effect. :) Arnold will never speak against it. He is hollywood, and too many of them are working in that industry.

The professor is considering the large amount of money that would be spent on “wedding” parties.

What he doesn’t factor in is the fact that homoamericans are incessant party givers, and don’t need a special reason to throw a big party. Legalizing homosexual marriage really isn’t going to cause more such events.

Big deal. If NJ just legalized kiddie porn they could make even more.

Legalize pot. That will bring in lots of revenue like it did for California. Wait, California’s still broke...?
