Political Quotes

“Shane and Penny Fox were married in 1997. Shane is a graphic designer for a charity, and Penny is a legal secretary. In 1997, their taxable income was $47,000. When they went to file their joint income tax return as required by law, they paid $8,691 in income taxes. But if they had remained single, they would have paid $7,055, so these two people with a combined income of less than $50,000 a year paid $1,636 just because they were married. I participated in that wedding ceremony. I read the Scripture where it says that God says that a marriage is a holy union. Yet, the official policy of the Federal government, of Congress and the administration, is to discourage marriage. It is to say, they should not get married. Marriage is not the right thing to do economically. That does not make sense. That is public policy being made in Washington that discourages people from getting married. What type of government penalizes people because they say, 'I do'? The tax is immoral, and sometimes we have to eliminate taxes because they are immoral. Anytime we say marriage is wrong by the Federal Government, it is an immoral tax, and it has got to go.”
