The tax code is very rational for a plutocracy, as is the code of federal regulations, which advantages the big players.

We did not normalize gay marriage - it was found to be a right by the courts, not the democracy - as it should be.  Partial Birth Abortion is illegal and has been since 2001. Extended unemployment is over and there is nothing unconstitutional about the tax.  As a fee, it is unconstitutional, as a tax it is well within the power of Congress.  That Pence has Taliban-like views on dining with women is open for derision.
