One benefit from our California recall

[wintergr3y]

Governor Davis promises to sign sweeping gay rights legislation. The bill legalizes broad changes to the rights (and responsibilities, such as child custody and debt) of domestic partners.

``As governor I will continue to do everything within my power to honor the dignity, humanity and privacy of every Californian regardless of their ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender or sexual orientation,'' the governor said.

I guess it's time for a lot of eleventh-hour legislation before he potentially gets booted out of office, huh? Not that I'm going to complain if it's a lot of bills like this one...

I'm sure you're right, but it did just strike me as ironic that one of the "rights" of married couples is to (possibly) get bumped into a higher tax bracket.

But then again, more folks would probably have enough deductions to lower their taxes. If it would increase the amount of taxes overall, the republicans would probably be all for it.

Or a lower tax bracket, depending on your circumstances. It's about fifty-fifty as to who gets a penalty and who gets a bonus from the way the tax laws are set up.
