re: Denmark is a democratic socialist country

Yeah we'll see how this socialist experiment goes. With their insane tax rates, Danes dont have nearthy the purchasing power that Americans do. Not to mention the taxes are driving away all of the wealthiest (i.e. job creating) Danes.

Danes have a very high standard of living.

The people that avoid taxes in Denmark are not the job creators. They are golfers, tennis players, soccer stars, entertainers, and the like that earn their money elsewhere. They aren't taking money out of the country.

The wealth creators are pretty happy. Denmark has a huge trade surplus every year. Businesses run pretty well when they have a highly skilled work force.

Denmark is just different from the US. Is it better? No. Is it as good? Yes. It works for them, and that is the bottom line.
