Why are gay and people's tax liability the same as for straight people when we are not afforded the?

same rights as straight American citizens? The federal government doesn't recognize gay marriage for federal tax purposes and all but 5 states don't recognize gay and marriage for state tax purposes. My partner and myself were recently essed $50 more a month for an educational essment tacked on to our property taxes. We have no children who use the public schools. Why should we have to pay for straight people's carpet munchers? In America gay and people are treated as second cl citizens. Just because most of us have better incomes than our straight counterparts we have to pay and pay and pay. To the Evangelicals, keep your Bible quotes to yourself, this is a legal question that deals with Constitutional issues of taxation it has nothing to do with your bogus religious beliefs.
