There should be no benefit for ANY marriage or domestic partnership. The government doesn't need to be in the business of subsidizing familys with or without reproductive capacity. Subsidize the children directly.

Dan In my opinion you should be entitled to the same treatment as a married couple. It is Religious Nonsense that the STATE has incorporated into law that decides who may claim that status, and our laws are not supposed to be made or continued based on religious grounds. A secondary Federal status that you WOULD qualify for is Head of Household. _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
