Interesting counterpoint from tax attorney, Beverly Luther, that makes the claim that we should allow gay marriage so that the state can claim the rightful amount of tax from same-sex couples. For example, one person in a same-sex relationship could pay their partner for day-care type expenses and deduct that on taxes. A heterosexual couple cannot pay each other for child care and deduct this expense.

The author concludes with the fact that same-sex couples would like to recognize their commitment so much that they’re  willing to pay more money to their own government! How often do you hear about people wanting to pay _more_ tax?

Yet another reason why this marriage amendment doesn’t make much sense. Here’s one reason that even might make a few more bucks for Minnesota.
