Andrew Sullivan,
in a post expressing support for a flat tax, manages to tie current tax policy in with gay marriage. The man has a gift. I don't think there's a single subject--from dog licensing to defense budget spending--which Sullivan can't find a way to link to homosexuality. The key passage:
I don't believe in affirmative action, because it means the government discriminates on the basis of race. I oppose heterosexual-exclusive civil marriage, because it means the government discriminates on the basis of emotional/sexual orientation. And I oppose punitive or "progressive" taxation, because it means the government discriminates on the basis of personal success.
I do have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised to see Sullivan supporting the notion of a flat tax. Unfortunately, I don't think that one will ever pass Congress.
