I am a school teacher in Denmark making about $61,000 a year. We get free education. You don't have to pay for the doctor or the hospital, and students even get paid to learn. it all sounds great...right? However I forgot to mention that nothing is ever free...the MINIMUM income tax in Denmark is 40%.
Also, we pay a sales tax of 25% and on top of that the government applies duties and fees. A gallon of gasoline is about $10. Tax on a car is about 180%, meaning that a car that sells for $20,000 in the USA sells for an astounding $40,000 in Denmark.
Denmark is the highest taxed nation in the world - taxed on average 80% on every dollar earned. Danes have the highest personal debt in the world. Few will ever own a car or house. Anyone who makes over $80,000 annually pays a personal tax of 68%. This means people with higher earnings have either found ways to evade tax or have left the country taking their companies with them.
My Mom's a school teacher and makes about 43000Kr / Month, this is about 55k USD a year.
The issue is that anything above 39000 Kr introduces state tax, add in that the taxes are uber high, your not really getting much money left over either way, face it, we scandis are just cucked.

Huh? Didnt you forgot a zero?

why do you think scandinavians think they're so superior when all they do is hand out nobels to people who aren't scandinavian?
David Barnes
Sounds like a comparison made for US americans, but actually they also don't really own houses for the most part.
The statistical average (including the richfags) per family is this here. And this is still only if you forget all the promises that were made by the state to pay veteran and state employee benefits, social security and so on (currently hugely underfunded).
Either way, don't try to copy us, we honestly only did well with this handicapped system because of Swedish homogeneity with Swedish culture being hard working until the rapefugee crisis started.
The only issue is dumb fucks never learn and history repeats itself, I just hope US won't go full socialistic with Bernie or some faggot winning as i'm planning to move there after I got my doctorate in machine learning.
but you're not living in mexico a high tax is a small price to pay for not living in mexico dog bless

Your country would be shit no matter what system would be in place, an AI could literally construct the perfect system and you'd still fuck it up because your people are fucking retarded
John Miller
> and what do we get in exchange? Not that little overall. The streets are okay, you have a justice system that works, a decent bunch of health care, and a lot more. Sure, it can be optimized, but it's not entirely terrible. Not too many nations are "easily" doing much better.
However the idea of getting out of nuclear power (rebuilding all that capacity and grid) while also doing climate emission controls isn't cheap, other things aren't cheap, and maybe you don't care much for these investments. I guess that does drain a decent number of Euros from your wallet.
Adrian Hernandez
>writes a blogpost about paying so much tax and how that means you will never be able to amount to anything >then goes on holiday to expensive place Clearly you can afford to pay a little bit more tax.
Is there like a tax-agency I can report you to in denmark? Ideally one that pays for tips.

if it were a constitutional monarchy lead by maximilaino, it wouldn't be shit
Honestly even as monarchy, I'd still have to kill every shitskin and replace them with hardworking peaceful laidback quality DNA.
I'm talking from experience.
Noah Stewart
that's cause you're a random person and maximilaino was maximiliano, maximiliano would've made it work with no genocide needed
Sebastian Johnson
Well what do you know? You're Mexican!
John Peterson
Based Dragos. Why is it always the Romanians, who are racist even towards their own countries? Is it the gyppos who give them a sense for the shittyness of civic-nationalism?
Andrew Wilson
Reminder that most if not all nations from Denmark to Finland are just starting to experience the weight of their aging populations. This just keeps laying more and more pressure on public healthcare, senior care, schooling & worst of all, future taxpayers.
Their systems are overburdened, their taxpayer cattle is getting thinner by the year. Social principles have proven themselves too vulnerable to ever growing bloat, incapability to adapt to changes & worst of all actual socialists invading all parts of these systems and entrenching themselves deep into it.
Finland is atm desperate trying to partially privatize our healthcare, first attempt failed and already socialists are celebrating. They simply do not understand that if this privatization does not come, then there will be no functioning healthcare in 10 years time.
Mate, I don't know about your Country, but if you ever see a Gypsy, you'll probably understand why everyone fucking hates them and wants to eradicate them except for the basedcucks.
Alexander Wright
maximiliano was the chaddest of the chads, the brightest of the bright and the kindest of the kind, if there would be anyone to fix this place it would have been him, and only him

Yeah, but in romania theyre fucking virulent and I heard part of the culture, while our gypsys are outcasts and not this much.

Their system is coasting on inertia at the moment. Shitskins are going to bring it crashing down.

Isn't England only about a hour train ride and a short ferry trip away from Denmark? Can't be that expensive of trip.

Gypsies in Sweden are literally just beggers, scammers and theifs. I haven't seen a single gypsy in work, university or anything productive for that matter.
They literally camp every ICA Supermarket entrance and beg for money, it's retarded.
Like imagine if someone from the future came and asked the gypsies what they contributed to society, lmao.
Angel Jones
I've read this exact post every week for the last 5 years on pol
Things like this take time. It took Rome hundreds of years of decline before they finally collapsed. It won't take that long for us, but it won't happen overnight either.

And some aristocrats gave them a country 200 years ago and they still are too dumb to grow a potato. They still eat shit and garbage out of trashcans like too poos, they truly are.
Jayden Wood
Yes, our governments solution to crashing social principles is...
Gambling, it is literally gambling.
They are gambling our entire cultures & nations on people who are complete economic & societal detriment in 85% of cases. People as they hope, keep voting for the left and somehow bring in money to a country where one of the worls highest educational standards, expertise & knowhow has failed to bring in enough to support the overbloated system.
5 Years is nothing in this scale, even at worst, our systems will most likely start suffering only brownouts after 10 to 15 years. But if correcting movements are not underway by then, the inevitable crash might be inevitable by then.
Benjamin Russell
If Trump actually makes it through with reforming your retarded immigration system, changing it back to merit based immigration I'm set.
Although I don't got too much hopes for that, i'm essentially locked out while street shitting illegal south americans get a free pass into the US, I literally don't understand how the majority of the American people allow this level of retardism.
Like how much people from the richer European nations have actually migrated to the US the past 20 years? I legit see more Swedes move to Singapore than the US.
Ryan Mitchell
Wow, its been five years and the nation hasnt collapsrd. Pack up and go home, everyone. Communism truly works.
Michael Diaz
Socialism works just fine in all white societies. The way to make it keep working is revoking women's right to vote. Women are always nation wreckers when given the chance.

Are you high, memeflag? Nothing is free. In socialist countries you get get no say on where the money goes. It goes to refugees, by the way. Thanks.
James Flores
Wew you know how this system works. Your debts are forgiven
Luke Stewart
Also "social security" is THE destroyer of traditional families. Long term you cannot have a functional nation without strong, stable families as a foundation...
Aiden Richardson
>debts
You are in for a surprise if you think the debts are even greek or that the interest payments are even going to germany. You will be beheaded by a mujaheddin and you will die blissfully ignorant. It might be a blessing in disguise.
Benjamin Thompson
Socialism never works. A central planed government is always bad. The only place you can make an argument for it working was Libya, but then again Libya should had focused on nukes rather then giving married couples cash.

my sister is in Denmark and fucking hell its expense compared to England up north.
