This shouldn't even be a debate.


Married couples get tax deductions, and tax deductions means less revenue for the government. Not exactly a great idea when there is a massive growing debt and a flailing economy.

From a utilitarian point of view, tax breaks for hetero-couples is good because they may produce children who contribute to the future labor force. Biologically, gay couples cannot produce offspring. Giving tax breaks to people who sodomize each other makes no sense from an economic view and is just another indicator of the decline of this nation.
