• Marriage: Should the state support what is “good, and true, and beautiful”?

  August 21, 2011 at 12:55am

  The view (held by some libertarians) that government should stop recognizing marriage will never happen in a million political years. This idea is akin to saying crime will not exist if government simply ignores it. The healthy libertarian view on marriage is this: we must remove all liberal marxist/socialist laws enacted since 1960 by feminists that empower government to destroy marriage and then make somebody else pay for it. As income decreases, the importance of marriage as a necessary microeconomic structure increases. Those in low income groups are not free. They are trapped in the welfare state. The Tea Party is horrified having to pay for all this. The “Marriage Values” policies developed by the Center for Marriage Policy (of which I am the President), are the answer. We will set marriage free to do as it has done for millenia, with our without government. It will slash crime rates, lift perhaps 70% of the poor out of poverty, repatriate jobs to America by waiving all federal, state, and corporate taxes on all low-skill jobs, replace unilateral no-fault divorce with “mutual consent” divorce, establish free marriage support groups in every church (marriagesavers.org), and much more. We are launching the Center for Marriage Policy in late October. Our website will be at marriagepolicy.org. We have at least three federal candidates slated to run on our policies, which are backed by Eagle Forum, the CWFA, and MoveOnUp. Get ready for action, folks.
