So we have rapists, child pornographers and child molesters running around all over our country and THIS is what the government is spending my tax dollars on???

Yet, Hugh Heffner has three whores actually living with him, which he's been doing for decades, and no one says a word to him. Believe me, they're getting paid for their, uh, SERVICES, but I don't see any of them being prosecuted. "It's their lifestyle, how they choose to live."

Yeah, okay, so as Bear pointed out, Heff can live with three women having sex with each and they get a television show. BUT some guy in Utah who's willing to commit to three women for a lifetime and have children with them and raise them, yeah, HE goes to jail. WTH??? Evidently here the issue is with the commitment. Maybe those guys out in Utah need to stop marrying these women and just live with them all instead. Then they could have an entire damned harem and the government won't care. Just. Don't. Call. It. Marriage. and they'll be okay.

you hit the nail on the head. Just don't call it marriage and its ok. Polygamy and gay marriage are problematic for the majority of today's conservative government.

they don't care what you do, as long as you don't try to take advantage of all of the benefits of marriage (tax breaks, insurance for partner/spouse, etc).

prostitution is another of those sore spots that conservatives can't get past.

The government wants to own every aspect of our sexuality, from who we do it with, to why we do it, when and where.

If they can't get income from in in the form of taxes, then we can't do it. LOL

This isn't all a conservative issue. I don't see many liberals out there opening trying to legalize prostitution or polygamy either.

The "Marriage Penalty Tax" isn't exactly what I'd consider a benefit of being married. Actually, there are more benefits to living together than there is to being married. It costs quite a bit to have that piece of paper.

Particularly when it comes to taxes or qualifying for financial assistance.
