Which one of the following arguments about the legal consequences of marriage is not one that David Chambers makes: Marriage rules are hardly static and change over time with regard to their benefits and responsibilities. Permitting gay and lesbian couples to adopt children is likely to hinder rather than advance movements for single-parent adoption because it will corrode the myth of two parents needed for child rearing. The legal position for unmarried same sex and opposite sex "step parents" who live with a custodial parent are generally without legal significance. The benefits of marriage are likely to be unevenly distributed among same-sex couples according to social class and income.

Any restraint on private property rights shifts the balance of power from impersonal attributes toward personal attributes and toward behavior that political authorities approve.

One of the problems of allowing goods and services to be distributed solely by the market is that income is unequally distributed, especially here in the US. Why would the market produce an inadequate level of some goods and services, which society might view as critical for peoples’ well being, while at the same time, use a significant quantity of resources to produce goods and services that contributed little to society’s overall well being? Your answer should contain at least two examples of goods and services that are critical and inadequately produced and two examples of goods and services that are largely wasteful and overproduced (4 examples in total). Remember your answer should revolve around the distribution of income, and should be focused only on the United States.
Which of the following statements is not correct? Select one: a. The economic life cycle theory explains why gifts of goods and services reduce poverty for the very young and the very old. b.

The percentage of the population that suffers from long-term poverty is far smaller than the percentage of the population that suffers from short-term poverty because there is a high level of economic mobility in the United States. d. Permanent income is a better measure of a family's ability to buy the necessities of life than is transitory income.

To ensure safety and efficacy, the Food and Drug Administration regulates the medicines that pharmacies are allowed to sell in the United States. Sometimes this means a company must test a drug for years before it can reach the market. We can easily identify the winners in this system as those who are protected from unsafe drugs that might otherwise harm them. Who are the more anonymous losers who suffer from strict medical regulations?
