Yes. I was merely trying to point out, albeit obtusely, what I view to be the Dems’ hypocricy on DADT and, even more obtusely, to correct the error of many who refer to “tax cuts” for those earning above $250,000. Marginal tax rates go up on those earning more than $200,000 or married couples who together make more than $250,000.

Ironically, such a substantial “marriage penalty” might make gay rights advocates re-think whether they really want a right to marry. //

Sure. And straight couples with happy marriages will get divorced so they can file separately.
