My Debt Ceiling Solution

[Bacon King]

Ok, I'll bite.  How exactly will legalizing gay marriage increase tax revenues?

I'm assuming he's talking about the bit of additional revenue that would come from a bunch of new couples filing taxes jointly and facing the marriage penalty? Or possibly the pittance of fees state governments will collect from the new marriage licenses?

I'm in favor of gay marriage, of course, but I don't see how a fiscal argument makes much sense at all.
