Цитатки:
Though I don’t know about the tax systems in other states that recognize same-sex marriages/partnerships/unions, I do know that California’s state income tax imposes the same rates (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9.3%) on single, head-of-household, and married taxpayers, AND it provides married and head-of-household taxpayers brackets exactly double the width of those for singles. The result: no marriage tax penalty (though possibility for marriage tax bonuses).

Ага!
Researchers have shown that taxes produce a small but statistically significant effect on the aggregate marriage rate as well as the timing of marriage, and a slightly stronger effect on the aggregate divorce rate.

Но в противоположность тому что я говорю:
However, in a 2004 Congressional Budget Office study, we learned that the economic effect of treating same-sex partners the same under federal law as opposite-sex spouses could improve the federal budget’s bottom line by nearly $1 billion annually, primarily due to subjecting same-sex couples to marriage tax penalties that currently fall exclusively on opposite-sex spouses.

Вот и замечательно!!! Как только федералы приведут налогообложение в соответствие с определением брака в штате где живет домохозяйство, у калифорнийских противников голубых браков станет одним аргументом меньше. А пока -- ни-ни.

Мне вообще по барабану, пусть что хотят то и делают. Если же федералы сделают то что в прошлом абзаце, лично пойду агитировать за браки для гомосеков. Шучу. Но если буду голосовать -- проголосую (пока голосовать не могу).
