Labor is Prior to Capital – Man/woman marriage is Prior to the State

July 10th, 2012

I just saw this quote on a liberal facebook page that I follow:

“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” ~Abraham Lincoln

I like arguments pointing out “something” depending on “something else,” because the “something else” came first, and the “something” is built on the “something else.” I’m going to use this same logic in regards to marriage.

“Man/woman marriage is prior to, and independent of, the state. The state is the fruit of man/woman marriage, and could never have existed if man/woman marriage had not first existed. Man/woman marriage is superior of the state, and deserves much the higher consideration.” ~Jennifer Thieme

In other words, this:

The State

came after this:

Man/woman marriage

Not only did it come after, it absolutely needs it. The state should not be messing with the definition of marriage!
