we have the marriage penalty tax when both people work.
When the husband works and the wife does not it seems to be more tax effective.
when the government defines marrige via legislative act then they are essentially taxing sex.
Well, according to justice roberts (anyone here feel stupid for carrying water for that asshole during his confirmation?), fedgov has unlimited taxing power. Good thing we have strict constructionists like him to squeeze a convoluted excuse for raw government power from a plainly worded document that was supposed to restrict it to something less powerful than a local home owner's association.
