re: Should govt. be completely out of the marriage/family business?

I'm with kingbob on this, with a few added items to strengthen things:

1. Also eliminate the estate and gift tax.
2. Pass a Constitutional amendment that would allow a church, a minister, or other religious organization to refuse to perform any "marriage ceremony" for any reason, or any business to refuse to participate (bakeries, wedding photographers, etc.).
3. The FAIR Tax should be just that, not a VAT.

+1. We do not need incentives for marriage and especially not for having kids! The tax system should be so much simpler than it is and the first step should be eliminating a lot of deductions.

FTR I am only in favor of this if they DRASTICALLY reduce the wasteful spending. If they are going to take the extra income and spend it on waste like they always do then F them I'll take whatever deductions I can get!
