Tying the Knot Under ObamaCare
American Thinker ^ | October 27, 2013 | Eileen F. Toplansky

Posted on 11/07/2013 8:34:01 AM PST by sevinufnine

In true Marxist form, the ludicrously named "Affordable Care Act" mounts an all-out attack on marriage. In 2010 the Heritage Foundation pointed out under the bill couples would face massive financial penalties if they marry or remain married. Conversely, couples who cohabit without marriage are given highly preferential financial treatment. If the Senate bill becomes law, saying 'I do' would cost some couples over $10,000 per year.

In fact, the "... anti-marriage penalties and heavy cohabitation bonuses were built into the Senate ObamaCare bill." Furthermore, low income couples are not immune from the bill's aggressive wedding taxes. A 60-year old husband and wife, each with an income of $15,000 would pay over $4,000 per year if they remain married. Put in other terms, the government would offer an annual bonus of $4,212 if the couple divorces and then cohabits."

Consequently, "an all-out war on 'old and outdated' institutions like marriage and family" is being conducted "so dominance of the state can be achieved." In communist Russia this was euphemistically known as "unions of affection and comradeship."

The left doesn’t even realize, or admit, whom they are working for... (see tagline)

Their number one target is the institution of the family. They HATE traditional families, and they probably can’t even explain why. The family is a reflection of the nature of the One they truly hate.

They hate traditional families because families are not dependent on the State. Thus, not likely to vote for The Party. Single mothers will do as they are told politically to be supported on the collective farm.

Mr.B,

The article basically answers that question regarding the hard-headed left. I’ve cut/pasted it:

Obama, an ideologue who is “so fanatically committed to this cause that no amount of reality can make him abandon it” keeps offering his empty “hope and change” speech. It is equally important to remember Pascal’s advice that “...the embarrassment wherein a person finds himself produces in him the most unjust and criminal passions imaginable. For he conceives a mortal hatred against that truth which blames him and convinces him of his faults.” (As Obama is thwarted, be prepared for the true vision of this demagogue.)

Hi SandRat,

Being an “old fashioned wife/mom in a traditional family” I had to look up LGBT (silly me, huh?) And no...I’m sure they are NOT aware of this or they’d be marching in the streets.

MrB: “Their number one target is the institution of the family.”

Their policies destroy the family. That’s true. Yet, the left stands ready to cram homosexual marriage and adoption, i.e. nontraditional families, down society’s throat, and they’re ready to ostracize anyone who doesn’t agree, for whatever reason, that such nontraditional “families” are perfectly normal, natural, and good for society.

So I’m sure most leftists would completely disagree with your statement. They’d claim to love families, but there’s a huge disconnect between the real world results of the public policies they propose and their claims.

That’s right. Wish I could remember which celebrity (choke) said this...but it was the “god-mother” of Elton John and his male partner’s boys. She said, “they are the most wonderful family I know.” Holy cow, huh?

Let's see....assume there's a woman with two children who doesn't marry her husband. Assume she works 20 hours a week for $200 or so, and pays her baby daddy $400 a month rent. That means she's a poor working single mother. Does she get food stamps for three, Medicaid, a free Obamaphone and a rent subsidy? Do the kids get free breakfast and lunch at school? Does baby daddy only need to buy insurance for an individual?

Now wonder food stamps are being spent at Trader Joe's.

Actually, no.
The demand for marriage equality never was the expression of a sincere longing to be included in normal society. It was a political feint, an attack against society by destroying its underpinnings; destroy marriage, destroy the culture.

LGBT celebrates anything that accelerates our demise. They view normal, Christian culture as a gigantic accusatory finger pointing straight at them.

As a 65 year old, married for 45 years to the same lady, Grandparant of 2 soon to be 4, I feel your wonderment at some of these words.

Lady GaGa
Lady Gaga thinks Sir Elton John's children are the "most beautiful kids".

The American singer is godmother to the legendary musician's sons Zachary and Elijah, who he and his partner David Furnish had through a surrogate mother.

When visiting the tots Gaga - real name Stefani Germanotta - looks at their family in admiration and has nothing but praise for their set up.

"I bring them presents all the time. I spoil the hell out of them," she gushed to British talk show host Graham Norton in an episode of his programme airing this Friday. "They are the most beautiful kids and I've never seen such a loving family. They are absolutely the symbol of the future modern family."

Yeah. But this isn't a problem for most Afro-Americans. They already have 70 percent births by single mothers.
