BeckerismsThe Supreme Court has ruled that so-called "gay
married couples" should receive
federal benefits and allowed so-called "gay marriages" to resume
in California. Could
there be any real doubt in anyone's mind that polygamy will
become a reality in this
country and sooner rather than later? If you consider the
arguments in favor of so-called
"gay marriage," the identical arguments could be applied to
polygamy. Once marriage
becomes redefined to include anything and everything, it will
mean nothing.
Ohio House of Representatives
I sponsored three bills during June:
HB 188 eliminates the Ohio Marriage Penalty.
HB 191 corrects the definition of a machine gun.
HB 210 prohibits law enforcement from destroying firearms and
requires that they be
sold to federally licensed firearms dealers (FFL).
Dr. Richard Vedder testified before the House Ways and Means

2014 over FY 2013 actuals. That is almost a ten percent
increase. An additional $1
billion was appropriated for FY 2015. Furthermore, I'm troubled
by tax increases of any
kind. Although they are more than offset by tax cuts, I would
have preferred to see no
tax increases and spending at the inflation rate. We are WAY
beyond that.
