Good Lord, where's the *BARF ALERT* for those pictures?

Have you no decency!? lol

[xzins]

Why shouldn't singles/unmarried/unpartnered get the same tax break?

[Mo1]

They're the same sex?
Is that Pat?

How about a new show for Spike TV: STRAIGHT LIKES FOR THE UGLY DYKES

Hint: they aren't 'married'. I don't care what anyone says. They're co-habitating homosexuals. I don't like their lifestyle. I don't approve of it. My religion speaks strongly against it. Most peoples' religions speak strongly against it. We don't want to subsidize them.

Get it, California? Plain enough for you?

Damned if I'll ever, ever live in that State again.

Presumably they will get the tax benefits of married couples but will not have to suffer any of the well-known marriage penalties, such as having to file joint returns.

Bush has spoken about doing away with the marriage penalties, but that won't reall happen for practical purposes as long as he leaves the Alternative Minimum Tax in place.

Creating special reduced tax status for perverts, while the state is looking at a 30 some billion dollar deficit and raising taxes on everything else in sight. Way to go California.

Does this mean that I can now get the same benefits with my live-in girlfriend even though we are not married?

Now why do I thing I will never get away with that?

[gcruse]

It's he-ere.

End run around the 'bigoted' California voters who passed Prop 22. Our government knows what's best for us.

[John Jorsett]

I'm all in favor of this. I'm not married, so if I get a disease where I know the end is coming, I'll 'register' with my heir as domestic partners. Anything to screw the state out of taking another chunk out of me in taxes. The next thing to push for is allowing the registration of multiple domestic partners so that I can spread the inheritance out tax-free among several people. Cool.

[Xenalyte]

Does that mean that hetero shackin-up couples get the tax break too?

[tomball]

Strange the media seems to be glorifying a tax break for same-sex couples. Wait until the same-sex partners get hit with the marriage penalty tax (which is not gender specific) which married people have been paying for years.

No one is getting a tax break here - they are getting a tax hike under the guise of the appearance of an expansion of media recognized personal freedom.

Congress will not repeal the marriage penalty tax so long as there are people like this willing to expand the tax pool.
