Lawmakers Consider Preventing ALL Marriage In Oklahoma

What the deliberately misleading headline fails to convey is that they are considering removing the state from involvement marriage, making it what it should be, a private agreement between individuals. The state would not be issuing marriage licenses. I'd like to see all 50 states do that.

Yes, of course, idiots who register with a State organization for a license to marry are Statist Idolators! And Statist Idolators who object to Homos getting a State license to marry are still Statist Idolators AND Fascist HYPOCRITES!

According to the report, the motivation here is to avoid having to authorize same-sex marriages. No matter the motive, it would have the good effect of getting the State out of the marriage business, where it should certainly never have been, so is a plus. Oklahoma, OK!
The flip side was identified by one of the commenters: "if no one is married, how would they qualify to file joint tax returns, inherit tax-free when one spouse dies, etc., etc."
So government creates a problem (the death tax) and creates another problem (marriage licensure) to solve it. It's what they do, all day long. Who needs it?
Who needs it? The government of course. Personally the government has no qualifying justificaion to perform in th way they do.
