there is a time during the pregnancy that tha child(fetus) can survive. otherwise instances where something happens to the mother, they wouldn't ever be able to save the baby, i look at all these premature kids and say "hey it was formed enough to survive". i know one girl who had her child at 5 mos. and its healthy as can be now(hence my thinking on the time frame)

i am definately for abortion. I don't want to go through it again, but thats my choice. i don't want to take that choice from anyone else.

most folks are either extremely against it(loner) or extremely for it(you), i'm for there being a choice, i just think you should know as soon as you find out if you are pregnant if you want it or not.

Actually a flat rate is IMO a very good tax-form because it gives incentive to work because the more you earn, the less you'll pay in taxes as with progressive taxes.

(Unfortunally a lot of people find this unfair they'd rather that the more you earn, the higher percent you must pay ?????)</STRONG>

Huh?! i'm confused-people actually want to pay MORE taxes for making more $$$$ ?


here in the US you pay a lesser % the more you make. but the middle class gets taxed the highest(i'm middle class), and i think it sucks big time!

In Denmark - the more earn the harder you get taxed percentwise (and thereby real money wise).
It is not unheard of, if somebody has a very good salery that they end up paying a total of 60% in tax.
Most people pay between 40-50% (or thereabout) in tax. Plus a couple of other taxes.
Personally:
Of everything I earn there is taken first 1% and then 8%.
Then I have a deduction and when this is deducted I 42% of my wages.
