So, the Maximum Leader last night 09:53 - Nov 27 with 8474 views | chicoazul | he didn't know about the marriage allowance tax thing, did he? Or he hadn't thought it through. Incidentally scrapping a tax break for married couples tells you all you need to know about what Marxists think of marriage. | |

Surely it was a smear job by that right wing Murdoch running dog Andrew Neil. Come the glorious revolution he and his master will be exiled and only state run news papers and TV will be allowed to question the glorious leader through pre-approved questions. | | | |

Because marriage is an excellent thing that should be encouraged by the state, and one of the ways it should be encouraged is via a modest tax break. | |

Isn't that totally against the definition of a secular state? Why can't people be committed to each other in every way a married couple are but just not married? It's 1950's thinking. SB | |

Marriage can be an excellent thing for those who want it and choose to do it. That's no reason to discriminate against those who don't however, surely. | |

Our state is still, just about, a Christian one. People can be as committed as they choose to be of course, and plenty are/do. But the married family is the tried tested and proven-best way of raising a family and by extension, providing a happy safe atmosphere for nearly all peoples to live in. One of the ways the state has historically encouraged this includes this very modest tax break. Removing it is a symptom of how the Labour Party views family & marriage. | |

You've just said the same thing but with more words and it's just as wrong this time as last time. How does the Labour party view family and marriage? Many would argue those two things don't have to be linked. SB | |

This implies that behaviour which is traditional proven and for the good of society is not something for the state to encourage by offering such preferential treatment. "What the state does not forbid is compulsory". Our descent into nihilistic individualism will soon achieve its' final form. | |

What's wrong about it? You disagree with the points about married life & the family? The Labour Party hates the family, and marriage by extension too. | |

Getting married is a legal committment that is not restricted to hetro sexual couples and is a legal contract between two parties and the religious side is not relevant in law. By making this committment the following statistically is more likely to happen: a) less state intervention, and subsequent cost, in the raising of any children as a result of the union, b) less cost on social protection for those parties involved in the union and any children raised in the union, c) Higher educational achievements for children raised as part of the union and subsequent future finacial contribution to the state, The modest tax break for those prepared to make this legal committment is a very small recognision by the state of the above. Of course, it doesn't always work for people and that is why they can disolve the legal contract if it is in their interest to do so. The extreme socialist mantra of seeing a threat to the all powerful state from the family unit is well documented. George Orwell was writting about it after the war based on experiences of the foundation of the communist block. Having travelled widely in eastern Europe and particularly in Albania you can see evidence of how people actually put their lives on the line to sustain family units and freedom of religion. This proposal should be seen for what it is, an attack on the fabric of the state in the persuit of a class war. | | | |
