Just before this year's tax deadline, the odious, self-proclaimed Public Advocate of the United States formally inquired of the IRS whether it would accept joint tax returns from same-sex couples legally married under state law.
Public Advocate Executive Director Eugene Delgaudio, never one to let facts (or law) obstruct his ideological hysterics, warned of a "potential fraudulent tax scheme" that "could mushroom into a dangerous tax scam throughout the United States" and result in the loss of "substantial" tax revenue.
Yup. Committed gay couples everywhere will cleverly defraud the government by insisting on paying the "marriage penalty" that these same "Conservative" extremists constantly rail against. Meanwhile, heterosexual couples will continue to never ever attempt to enter into bogus marriages to take advantage of whatever obscure loopholes matrimony may occasionally offer. Right.
The Service, by the way, predictably responded to Mr. Delgaudio's inquiry in the negative, citing the Defense of Marriage Act.
