I am a weirdo? I believe that if you and I start a business as partners and that if upon my death that you should be given all the assets without penalty/punishment/taxation, that makes me a weirdo? What you are not smart enough to understand is that if you and your wife build a life together and one of you die the other gets all assets tax free. If you do not have a spouse [for any reason], but you have children there is no way that you can pass those assets, at death, without penalty/taxation. Why? If you make a million dollars and you pay taxes on that money whatever is left IS YOURS' to do with as you wish. If you die your wife gets it [thru some relationship set up by government], yet if your wife passes before you your assets cannot be passed to your children because of a relationship that is not allow. Who is weird? There should be government recognized relationship that allows everyone to enter into an agreement that allows for the same benefits that my marriage allows me. That has nothing to do with sex, you dope. If it does get the government over to my house quickly because I want the government to inform my wife that marriage means sex.
Change the tax law you disgusting ignoramus, instead of allowing your creepy civil unions.
