It does bother me.. that an argument is being used, to get money ..... and a smoke screen of issues are being used which is not being honsetly
presented ... it is about the money... a surviour homosexual marraige can not get after death of a "spouse"... at this time ...... now its that
simple..
All the other blah, blah, most gays can and do deal with it on a daily basis since there was a religion, which said it was a no-no ... however, at the
end.. when one dies.. the division of assessts by current law (Government) does nothing for the survior in the "marriage" as the marraige is not
recognized for the following:
1. Denied the Social Security survivor benefits that are made available to all married couples;
2. Heavily taxed on any retirement plan – 401(k) or IRA – they inherit from their partners, although married spouses can inherit these plans tax-free;
and
3. Charged an estate tax on the inheritance of a home, even if it was jointly owned – a tax that would not apply to married spouses.
And if you think this is not the issue, change the current law that the spouse in a “recognized marriage” Will be treated under the following
conditions, and lets see what happens….
1. Denied the Social Security survivor benefits that are made available to all married couples;
2. Heavily taxed on any retirement plan – 401(k) or IRA – they inherit from their partners, although married spouses can inherit these plans tax-free;
and
3. Charged an estate tax on the inheritance of a home, even if it was jointly owned – a tax that would not apply to married spouses.
and again, can hardly wait for the division of property, children and all the rest... when these come up for divorce .... |
