Is it normal that i want to cheat the government (read the details)?

my girlfriend and i (i am a girl as well) will be living in New Orleans, where same sex marriage is illegal. We want to get around that, by marrying our best friends, who happen to be a gay couple themselves in order to legally get around the financial issues and secure our rights. Technically this act would be illegal because, we would not officially be "with" the person that we each marry and this would be a marriage of convenience for all 4 of us.....we would even live in the same house together and file tax returns as spouses

    How exactly are you going to file taxes jointly with someone elses "spouse"? How are you going to figure out how to benefit from contributing to your "spouses" IRAs. How are you going to share employer benefits? How are you going to get marriage discounts? What happens if one of the spouses ruins the others credit score? How is combining income going to benefit you with loans? And what happens when one of you breaks up? What happens if you do better in finances and this couple wants to back stab you and take half of your money (or vice versa)? or if this whole shenanigan is brought to light in divorce court? How are you going to deal with beneficiaries? What happens if you are audited similar to the movie "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry"? What happens when a disgruntled homophobe finds out and tells the police? The government doesn't look too kindly on people who illegally cheat the system. I've only listed a few of the many reasons why this is a terrible idea, and way more trouble than it is worth.

    Everyone's too drunk or retarded in New Orleans to notice.

    Why do you feel you need to get married? It doesn't prove a thing.

      Maybe cause it goes along the line of "2 wrongs don't make a right"

      And I'd also like to add "no, but 3 left do"

    Why bother?

    Sounds pretty dumb to me, and I really can't see what the benefit to you, your girlfriend or your best friends would be.

    This is really silly, as Davesumba pointed out you are going to make things excrutiatingly complicated.
    Not to mention when one of the four of you either starts making A lot more, or worse a lot less money. Taxes will be nightmare.

    Then there marital property. What about when 1 of the 4 decides they are out of the relationship.

    You really are not gaining a whole hell of a lot here.

    Go get a civil union to get tax and property benefits.

    This will not end well.

    The way I see it is, you aren't cheating the goverment because the way you explained how you are going to go about it sounds legal in every way. I also think that the goverment is cheating all the gays, lesbians, and us the bisexuals by not allowing same sex marrige. So I say fuck the goverment and go for it.

    They're cheating you by making it illegal to live your life how you want, so yeah, sounds like a great idea.

    It is called fraud and it is illegal. Yes people do this but unless you want to risk having the IRS on your ass I would advise against it. Trust me you do not want the government after your ass.

          Incorrect.

          A 'hamster wheel', is an exercise device for domesticated and usually captive rodents of the Subfamily: Cricetinae.

            Idiot.

            Being educated and informative is a good thing, however you strike me as neither. All you do is copy wikishit all day long. You have no words of your own besides some bullshit, repetitive nonsense about your blasted rules. You're an insult to fools...fool.

              Steady now Big Bird. There's chastising a fuzzy schizophrenic nuisance and then there's imploring someone to off themselves. The former is reasonable, the latter is just mean. Smooth down them ruffled feathers.

        I mean to not tell anyone else other than who is involved.

    I'm not sure this would actually be considered illegal. How do you figure it would be?
