The US needs to reexamine the role of the Fed in family life. I suspect the ‘tax perks’ for the traditional family has run its course.
I think all tax perks and penalties should be eliminated. Now this doesn’t mean I think we should raise taxes. I think we should start at a 15% flat tax across board and shrink the govt to match it. However the constitutionality of preserving marriage licensing in the context of normal heterosexual “monogamous” relationships is not unconstitutional nor has it ever been nor would anyone who created the constitution or participated in the passage of the amendments have assumed any such thing. If they had dreamed this kind of mess would be possible they would have written the supremacy of heterosexual marriage into the constitution as an obvious fact.
