It's the corporate puppets in Congress who compromised the bill into what we have now. That includes the republicans, as they and the blue dogs were the ones who pretended to have so many problems with the original bills. The “liberals” wanted single payer or a public option.

Last time I checked their wasn't a Gay Single filing status. Since the IRS doesn't recognize gay marriage, the only option is to file single or head of household. This existed long before the gay marriage issue came about - so to categorize it as a "penalty for being gay" is pretty ridiculous. It has nothing to do with being gay.

The "marriage penalty" doesn't mean that all married filers pay higher rates than all single filers. There is a narrow circumstance where that is possible — where both married parties earn very high incomes. Normally the law gives substantial tax benefits to married people. 2. No, Barry — a civil union would not permit a gay couple to file as married. A civil union is not a civil marriage. The Defense of Marriage Act prohibits gay couples who are legally married from filing as married. 3. The IRS is not "charging" anything. Congress makes the tax law, and DOMA is causing married gay couples to pay higher rates than similarly situated heterosexual taxpayers. 1.

Has the IRS ever been used like this before? >> Yes, in fact if you ever take Economics 101 they will talk about what is called pigovian tax which has been used quite a bit throughout history in various ways. The basic premise is that you tax people to encourage or discourage some sort of behavior as opposed to making it specifically illegal. Typically its not done through income tax, but it has been done this way before. It has been done a lot, especially directly taxing some sort of product - and yes it has been contested to the supreme court before, its perfectly within the confines of the constitution. < <

The IRS has nothing to do with deciding who can or cannot be legally married. That's up to the majority of the citizens in this country, and the majority keeps telling you No. No, the IRS is charging a higher penalty for being unmarried.
