Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 On Thursday, presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) came out in favor of legislation that has been equated to "gay reparations." Under the Refund Equality Act, same-sex couples would be able to amend their past taxes, readjusting with jointly-filed tax returns and accepting refunds from the IRS. “The federal government forced legally married same-sex couples in Massachusetts to file as individuals and pay more in taxes for almost a decade,” Warren said in a statement,according to NBC News. “We need to call out that discrimination and to make it right — Congress should pass the Refund Equality Act immediately.” "It wasn’t until marriage equality became law that gay & lesbian couples could jointly file tax returns—so they paid more in taxes," the Democratic presidential candidate posted to Twitter on Sunday. "Our government owes them more than $50M for the years our discriminatory tax code left them out. We must right these wrongs." https://www.dailywire.com/news/48766/warren-comes-out-gay-reparations-amanda-prestigiacomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I don’t know that I have that big of a problem with this (assuming the state pays it all). If they were legally married, they should have gotten all the same tax rights as all others. Just because they are freaks destined for extinction from birth doesn’t mean the Government should get to impose stiffer tax penalties on them. Cheesy tax cash grabbing.

Cold War Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Long over due! We have all stood idly by while uncle Sam has had his foot on the necks of gays. Just another black mark on the long list of atrocities committed by this disgusting Country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 24, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 24, 2019 I've heard it all now. Gay reparations. The mere fact that there is different rates for married/single should be unconstitutional. Equal protection under the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say IMO the argument for disparate treatment of taxes is for sure more legit than black reparations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rather optimistic after the reparations hearing last week in the house as several people of color from both political parties gave testimony against the idea. Just a Dem look at me stunt anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...are we at the point that every new law and regulation has to be applied retroactively? How far do we go back?

J. Jackson Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 In a way, I see her point but for the Dems as far as the Presidential race, it's all about the pandering. Where she fucked up was when she spoke so passionately about the poor children at the border. It's so much of our moral obligation to save them but never mind an unborn, that's a women's right to decide if they want to crush it's skull at 8-9 months.
