What? You think gays don't get SS or Medicare? Because they do. I specifically said SPOUSAL BENEFITS.
I'm saying it will fuck our economy even more. Being pragmatic isn't always PC. I don't mind gays, love the gays, but the spousal benefits issue is a problem.
Male/female spousal benefits were made so women that stayed home to have babies would have income when they got old. I can even see this for gay couples who have children and one person stays home. For gay unions with no kids, sorry, can't afford you.
If same sex marriages will get full benefits, I'm marrying some old dyke so I can have her share of benefits when she dies. She just can't live here or touch my tootie.
Any takers?
This may have been addressed but I didn't read all the way down. My mother worked all her life until she was in her 50's. Both her and my father paid into SS. She collects his because his is higher since he always made more money. I have always worked all my life. If I don't remarry, I can collect my exes SS is it's more than mine since we were married over 10 years. And well if he is dead. So spousal benefits are not just for SAHM.
