I recently asked why a marriage fee was imposed so a couple could be married, and I was informed that " The fees charged reflect the service costs to provide marriage licenses to couples. ".
So then I asked why then is a license even needed, was it invented so you could charge a service fee. That was the end of our correspondence. But that is a sound question,
for where is the line drawn, whats next a license to have children, or breathe. Basic human
rights should not require a license, is this China. I find it disrespecful that the government
would put a fee on love and something that is spirtually correct. Even God only requires a
promise. And usally a license is needed to show a person is capable, but is that not the job
of our parents, who knows better than them. The governments interference in all things is
becoming very intrusive and the feeling of freedom is eroding. Some may say I'm making to big a deal and its a small price to pay, but love should be free and not taxed.
I know the government is always trying to find ways to pay their bills, because we all know
how competent they are. But to look upon marriage with greed is dispicable.
It is not the fee I resent but the fact that I need their permission, and that all they want is my money. Such a shame the beauty of marriage is disrespected by an obvious cash grab.
Where is the common sense, I was amazed when I realized I needed a license to marry my love, how could somebody accept that, am I to live common law, what right do they have to say I cannot marry. I do think it is a human right violation to charge for something that is morally correct.
I have never been part of a dictatorship society but I think I feel it coming.
