"I dont think social issues are that important to governments."
Is that a joke. Let's see...
Abortion-Fund it through the taxpayer
Age of consent--Government lowers it
Affirmative action--Government bestows tax breaks
Capital punishment--Government bans/endorses the practice
Disability rights--Government subsidies
Divorce--Government creates No fault madness
Environmentalism---EPA, ROTFLMAO how much does that end up costing the tax payer (Again are you serious?)
Gay rights/Aids funding--Government $$$...
I could go on and on, just laying out all the programs of LBJ's Great Society would destroy your argument... I am just flabbergasted at that post.

The issues themselves are not important, it’s the revenue they create that is. The issues change as societies change, but the gvts need for revenue, doesn’t.
