If you're going to deny them the rights other Americans have, you should then lower their taxes. More than half of them would save thousands in singles penalties if they could marry (over half of married couples get a marriage bonus aka the penalty for singles). I really like this argument about equal rights for gays, though. Don't give them equal rights because we can't afford it.
