Can I just say that I have **FINALLY** figured out **WHY** some republicans want a constitutional amendment outlawing Gay Marriage.
Because without the Queer Tax, we could not afford to send our soldier (for minimum wage) and pay government contractors like Haliburton (billions of dollars) to wage wars in countries like Iraq.
Because in Massachusetts I can file as Married Filing Jointly, I have to go back and change my filing status (same income, same deductions) before filling out my Massachusetts state tax.
My federal return goes from me owing $143 to them owing me $4,500.
How wrong is that????
