      Getting screwed huh? How appropriate. Look into what happens to single, widowed moms. They’ve been getting screwed since before this moron author was screwed into being.

      But basically, hetero couples raising children while not married get screwed over as well? I get that same-sex marriage isn’t possible everywhere, but this thing comes awfully close to a skewed representation of (albeit solid) facts.

    • NYGodfather a year ago

      The odd part that everyone doesn’t realize is that getting married isn’t a tax break (assuming there are still two incomes)… in this case it would typically be a tax increase. Children and mortgages can be deducted but they can be deducted if you are single as well.

      How about nobody gets a tax break for deciding to live together and sign papers? That said, I’ll still vote in favor of gay marriage rights every time it comes up.

      why don’t we just get rid of marriage.
