I believe the idiot is going to find out that married people pay higher taxes. And if you’re married and file separate then you REALLY pay higher taxes.
Nice use of calm rationality. Where was this presentation? The crowd was obviously impressed as well.
I think marriage, in the traditional sense, and by definition, has been abolished. It started when governments, local, state and federal first started injecting themselves into the marriage process. It was finished when gays were given the right to participate in the marriage contract in relationships that redefine marriage. ...Marriage was never a civil rights issue, but the government has treated it as one to accommodate sexual perversion and continue its assault on Western culture.
Great handling of a “Gotcha” question.
I don’t know anything else about Ryan Anderson, but I know this... anyone that is this smooth, collected, rational and affable at handling these type of questions has a bright future in politics.
In other words, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect the so-called gay rights that are now wrongly being legislated from the bench by activist judges.
Also, another thing that the gay gentleman doesn't seem to understand is this. The federal government is arguably going to make up for lost revenues on tax credits for married couples when the children of the staight couple grow up and become taxpayers.
And let's not forget that the corrupt federal government is also wrongly laying taxes which it cannot justify under Congress's constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. In fact, Justice John Marshall had clarified Congress's limited power to lay taxes as follows.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
A bright young man.
Great post.
New rendition of an old fairy tale, The Emperor’s New Clothes.. Calling a gay relationship a marriage does not make it a marriage, any more than calling a a nude man a dressed one. Even a law that forces you to recognize this under penalty of death does not make it so. All that is left is to redefine the terms...
Great video but the discussion underneath was depressing..... We have slipped so far...
bttt
The homosexual should have just said, I think we should pay the same tax so that politicians can buy our votes.
Bump
The needle on my gaydar pegged as soon as the “Gay Man” started talking. In about 15 seconds, it began smoking and smelled of burning electronics.
In other words, “You can do whatever you like. Simply don’t expect special treatment (i.e. special marriage arrangements), don’t redefine marriage to suit you, and leave our children alone.”
Thanks for posting this. I usually don’t watch these because I can’t stand the argument in the first place. Shad my the first minute had my stomach turning, but Mr. Anderson knocked it out of the park. Cool.
Anderson is a clear thinker and an excellent advocate for marriage.
