Obama Czar Cass Sunstein’s radical views stir controversy

Marriage discriminates against single people,bringing the latter "serious"disadvantages,argued Cass Sunstein,President Obama’s regulatory czar.

"Official marriage licenses also have the unfortunate consequence of dividing the world into the status of those who are ‘married’and those who are ‘single,’in a way that produces serious economic and material disadvantages,"wrote Sunstein and co-author Richard Thaler in their 2008 book,"Nudge:Improving decisions about health,wealth and happiness."

In the book – obtained and reviewed by WND – Sunstein explained he opposes state sanctioning of marriage in part because it discriminates against those who are not married.

"Many of these economic and material inequalities (brought about by marriage) are difficult to defend,"Sunstein wrote. "Private relationships,intimate and otherwise,might be structured in many different ways,and the simple dichotomy between ‘single’and ‘married’does not do justice to what people might choose."

"Why not leave people’s relationships to their own choices,subject to the judgments of private organizations,religious and otherwise?"added Sunstein.
