Its MY taxes...and MY social security....why can’t I do what I want with it...And you don’t think there is and will be fraud with gay marriage.

Wrong. Flemming vs Nestor put an end to that charade. Once your payroll taxes are provided to the government, they no longer belong to you. SS can change the terms of its program anytime. You don't "own" your SS contributions or the account.

If you allow everyone to direct their their SS survivor/disability benefits to anyone they like, it would represent a huge increase in costs for a program that has been running in the red since 2010 and has an unfunded liability of $20 trillion.

Yes, there will be widespread fraud with gay marriage. There will be marriages of convenience so that people can share benefits and coverage.
