The WSJ ran a piece yesterday that quotes an unnamed IRS senior official who said the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act would bar Massachusetts married same sex couples from filing as married on their federal taxes. The same article also quoted the Congressional Budget Office who said that widespread legalization of same-sex marriages would slightly increase federal tax revenues (if the Feds would be willing to take the money). So our slogan can be: "Fight the Deficit: Legalize Gay Marriage Now!" Pit fiscal conservatives against Bible-thumpers, classic divide and conquer.
