Crown Princess Victoria & Prince Daniel Expect First Child in March 2012

[Duke of Marmalade]

Victoria and Daniel will get child allowance from the Social Insurance. Whether they like it or not. "This is not something one chooses but it goes to all parents," says Mats Mattsson, Manager of Insurance to DN.se.

Its true. There was a huge discussion about Michael Schumacher getting child allowance because he didnt want it, he doesnt even live in Germany. He urged politicians to only give it to people with a specific income = not to the super-rich but it isnt possible. In the end, he decided to donate it to charity.

Just imagine the costs of having to check the income of all parents! And even if soembody earns more or is rich or even super-rich: their child will one day be responsible for paying for the state one way or another (think inheritance tax) and thus the state helps a bit with the costs of childraising. Some sort of investing in the infrastructure of the state..Like paying for repairs on the streets and everybody is allowed ot walk there, rich and poor.

Since nothing is happening with the baby, Expressen has put once again the story of V and D to the site. The article points out that it would be great if the baby would be born on February 24th, at the official engagement day.
Nice photos at the article.
