How is this not legislation-specific? You object to the legislation that introduced and codified the tax code to which you object, but that doesn't mean it's not specific to legislation. This is incoherent.
I should have said issue-specific. Systemic problems can't be overcome with issue-specific fixes.
That's what you are supposed to learn from the SSM cultural upheaval. Our system is ludicrously unfair, and far too many social/economic privileges key off of federal/state recognition of marriage. The discrimination gays claim regarding SSM is actually discrimination against all single people.
Have you ever watched a single campaign ad by any Democrat in the country? They do populism just fine.
