So long sales tax
The alternate reading of the California Supreme's ruling last week is that if "marriage" means anything other than "marriage", that the court will strike down whatever law creates a right in "marriage" that isn't present in whatever that other civil status is, or simply end the intrusion of the cult practice in a secular state.
So if the executive branch of government of the state of California ends or disproportionately curtails tax payed services to residents of the state who do pay, if not California income tax, then California sales tax, even if the instruments with which this class of persons make these tax payments to the state of California are with WIC or TANF or similar, will this court, the court which has made very clear that all that "marriage" means, under Prop. 8, is that a class of persons may use an eight letter word to describe their civil status, and no other right not available to the class of persons in same-sex couple family relationships, allow the state to continue to compel the poor and the non-poor alike to pay California sales tax, and deliver tax paid benefits disproportionately to the non-poor?
