Lord getting married has tons of benefits but taxes should NOT be one of them. I say flat tax for all and that is a married guy with four kids speaking. I don’t know why I should get tax breaks for having kids as well. Let’s bring in a 20 percent flat tax and watch our economy thrive like never before.
I think a big part of the reason why so many are buying into state recognized ‘gay marriage’ is that they have been conditioned to think the institution is simply a collection of benefits and strictures from the state that can be broken and resumed between any parties as the state deems fit. Which pleases the statists no end, the more folks rely on the state, the more control they have.
Homosexualists want ‘gay marriage’ recognized by the state so they have way to punish those who are never going to buy into it.

Let's say the fundamental organizing principle among humans is the family.
Designate a family. Add up its profits. Divide by the number of members. Tax each one on that.
Let's say humans have no fundamental organizing principle ~ a theory currently popular with leftists. In that case it does not matter how you allocate income or taxes ~ just collect what you can get and run with it.
Or, let's say society does not need any fundamental principles ~ best bet is to forget about taxes and go find some firearms and ammunition to see you through the coming dark ages.
As much as I agree with you, that time is over as the takers are now in control.
I don’t know why I should get tax breaks for having kids as well.
Because you are being responsible and raising up the next generation. Don’t think of it as you getting a tax break, it’s more a case of your children getting first dibs on your income until they become producers as well.
