3. Whether its $30 billion or $3billion anybody can see divorces cost the system money. Are we really debating that?

You don't know what it would cost the system when those relationships would end without formal divorce. There might be still lawsuits about kids and about ownership of shared property.
You could also use the model of another European country where there are marriages but no divorces if your problem really lies in the fact that people divorce.

So in Germany your average income amount is tax at 15%? Are you sure about that?

I happen to live in Germany. ALG doesn't.

I've noticed that the most vocal people on this thread happen to be from European countries where the gov't is more active in people's daily lives.

Again, ALG doesn't live in Europe.
Additionally we would think that Europe will have a higher chance to abolish legal marriage in the next 50 years than the US. In the US you have nobody that has a real political interest in abolishing marriage laws and have the freedom to make marriage like contracts themselves (playing a game of guess a lobby
).
Our marriage debate in central Europe also isn't driven by the Christian church.

No womens rights and the man just had the right to all property by default.
