After pages more of refutation by Dirty Name, I see he still can't produce ONE official link to this government societal organization concept.

You do know what an OFFICIAL LINK TO INFORMATION IS RIGHT?

It is not a bunch of your words, as you tried to use in your post AS a link.

It is a hyper-link, to an actual government DOCUMENT outlining what you CLAIM TO BE THE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT.

You are not a debater, you are in denial.
Quote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
I'm sure you know the source of that. No link required. And now for how it ties in to my view point:

Our society elected representatives who passed tax laws which grant benefits to heterosexual married couples because our elected representatives believe that such measures advance the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

You are, of course, free to disagree. But your singular view is but a grain of sand on the beach of public opinion, and arguing the legality of our tax laws in general does little to advance the notion of homosexual marriage - at best, it argues for an abolishment of any tax breaks whatsoever -something that not everyone on the side of homosexual marriage rights agrees with.

In view of the fact that you are arguing a point on the legality of federal tax law, I believe you could make the same case for any number of other issues, not just gay marriage. So why don't you start a new thread and we can debate your point of view there.

The reality of the situation, which you refuse to take into account, is that our tax code exists, has been vetted by our legislators and the courts, and isn't likely to be changed to your viewpoint any time soon. Thus, there is no point in continuing this discussion as it relates only to homosexual marriage.
