The Ongoing Circle
Government always behaves in a predictable manner, and nothing’s more obvious than when it comes to taxes.
At any given time there are a set of programs that government runs that costs it a certain set of money. Yet government doesn’t have enough money to to pay for the programs that they have (or they create more programs such that they don’t have enough money), so they have one of two options: cut spending or raise taxes.

Part of the problem today with marriage is that it is being devalued by a umber of things, not the least of which is the idea that a couple can get together without being married and have all the “benefits” of marriage.
