Charles E. Merrill Partner Quotations

If you die and leave property to your partner, you're taxed on it as if you left it to a stranger. You can give your partner only $11,000 as a gift, but if you're married, you can give your wife unlimited gifts.

Gay people are really getting taxation without representation. I have no intention of paying taxes because my partner and I cannot be legally married and receive the same tax benefits as other married couples.

I have no intention of paying taxes because my partner are considered second-class citizens due to laws that prevent us from being married because we are two men. Hello, we don't have the same tax law rights as heterosexual married couples filing income tax. Very unfair.
