We'd be so much better off if they earned to enough to become taxpayers instead of continuing to shovel so much of the resources to the already wealthy.
Another thread comparing Apples and Automobiles... You can't compare the US with any other country.
Denmark is basically a Homogeneous country, the US has citizens of every Race, Religion, and National origin.
Denmark is a relatively small country with a TOTAL population the size of many cities or counties in the US.
No, I would not like to live there. I prefer the wonderful diversity of the U.S. of A. Who would want to live in a country that's full of mostly white people?
Good for you. I hope you like the government taking almost all of your money and controlling your life. If that makes you happy, then you should move there. Consider this;
• Danes making over $75,000 are hit with 57% payroll taxes.
• On top of that, their sales tax rate is 25% and is not deductible.
• Then their car sales tax rate is 180%, which makes cars out of reach except for the wealthy. That’s why they have one of the lowest car ownership rates in the world.
• And members of the government church pay an additional 1.5% income tax.
So, if you make $75,000 per year, the governments take $42,750 ($43,875 if you are a church member) before you get your money. Then every time you buy a $600 iPhone, you pay the government an additional $150. And when you buy that new Toyota Camry for $25,000, you have to pay the government an additional $45,000 in taxes which makes your new Camry cost $70,000.
And then, to make life even more miserable, Denmark has the highest ratio of household debt to net disposable income in the world at 315%. This compares to the USA at 114%.
We know household savings is bad in the USA at positive 5%, but it’s golden compared to Denmark at negative 6.28%.
Now let’s compare household net worth. The USA is the highest in the OECD at $142,500 as compare to Denmark at $58,116.
Move there? No thanks. Denmark would be one of the last places I would move.
But don't you know, listen to the libs: everyone in these countries are happy and healthy. They don't share our problems!!! SUure and I believe in the tooth fairy as well.
