In my opinion, I do not think we would be having the big discussion in America about gay marriage if it were not for our tax code and the benefits being offered by our government. It is all about the money. If it was not about the money, I think the gay marriage debate would only be taking place in our churches and not in the Supreme Court.
I also think there is a rather simple solution. Change the tax code. I happen to think that the best way to solve the problem is to eliminate the income tax and change over to a consumption tax. If people do not want to pay high taxes, they can choose to limit spending. I think the Fair Tax is a good plan for getting this done. However, if we have to stay with the income tax, I think a flat tax with absolutely no tax breaks for any person or business or organization would also do the trick.
The income tax with all its pages of regulations is just a way for politicians from both sides of the aisle to have control and to get votes. Because of that, it will be a monumental task to get the Federal government to even talk about changing the tax code.
Term limits would get us closer to making this happen.
