Yep! It would be over. A dead issue. I find it a bit appalling that conservatives have no problem going on government welfare (aka marriage and kid tax credits) while other Americans are burden with higher taxes to make up for their welfare freebies from the nanny-government. I guess some conservatives feel they have a right to more of my labor than they feel I have a right to their labor.
An interesting perspective I hadn’t thought of...right again.
