When discussing the same sex issue with some who were against it, I was taken aback by the argument, "They'll put a further drain on social security." That ramification wasn't something that I had considered, and has me wondering. As you probably know, if a married couple both worked and contributed into SS, if the man dies first, the woman continues to receive his benefits. However, if the woman dies first, the man does not receive hers. Unfair to say the least. The concept of same sex couples exaggerates this sexist mentality even more - which partner continues to receive the other's check? Neither? Obviously the whole system needs an overhaul, but I'm really interested on what you'd have to say on this matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
