Its my view that the gov't shouldn't operate or run most things but should police the private sector. The government does have the authority to authorize private companies to be able to marry and they can require that arbitration clauses be given.

There are some things like the military that really should remain ran by the government for numerous reasons.

Singapore is such a small country and the proportion of white collar jobs to the population is drastically skewed when compared to most countries. This means that they have a larger budget per capita than their neighbor Malaysia for example. I don't think government workers in the US are under paid either. Government jobs in the US typically can earn a comfortable living and they have great benefits. I do agree, however, that American teachers should be paid more due to their individual importance.

Maybe the private issued "marriage certificate" could still give these type of rights. Why couldn't it ?

Those a dozens of different cases and in Germary we just had to add "or has a civil union" after every one of these.
If you however wanted to eliminate them you would to have think more about how that law should look like. |
I don't think its impossible.
I do think that the biggest problem would be people's perception or fear of that change.
