Redefining marriage to tell us that the federal benefits aren't for everyone

You don't say? Now they tell us? Make no mistake, this was all known before the agenda was advanced by Obama and the SCOTUS to redefine marriage...
AP: Like other married couples, same-sex couples are about to learn that federal benefits for being married might not be all they're cracked up to be.

Social Security benefits for spouses can be generous, but only for couples with big disparities in their incomes. Taxes are a decidedly mixed bag, and there are still a lot of unanswered questions for the Internal Revenue Service.

Many middle-income couples should get welcome tax breaks now that they can change their filing status from "single" to "married filing jointly." The biggest benefits will go to couples in which one spouse makes more money than the other.

But those at the top and bottom of the income scale could face significant tax increases.
So once again, the Obama administration, along with the judicial activists among the Court, fool another demographic, swindling more taxes out of them, while advancing another leftist agenda, that being of course the degradation of the established institution and sacrament of Marriage.
