philothea Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 In Hungary the government gives you an income to live on if you have children. Same reason. (Dropping population.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Nov 2 2005, 08:06 AM']Gee, what if people's social security was somehow connected with the number of taxpayers they produced...?

prose Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Wow... In Alberta our government had a surplus of a few million this year, so we (every man, woman, and child) are getting a cheque for 400 bucks. Which is like 1600 for our little family. Some of our friends are getting up to $4000 (they have 8 kids). Cool... Kinda off topic, but cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BCatholic139 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I mean, if I was paid to have a child, the love would still be there, but it's like a job or a chore. It is very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
