All of that comes at the cost of high taxes. Denmark has the highest tax to GDP ratio in the OECD.
Someone on the average annual salary pays;
Now add on the 27-42% tax on any dividends or capital gains from investments.
Now add on the 25% VAT (a flat 25% tax on all goods and services).
Not even including all the other taxes like imputed rent on owner-occupied dwelling, land value tax, or the 100-150% registration tax on the value of any vehicle you buy.
ActuallyCalindra@reddit
That much tax is well worth it if your taxes actually pay for the general quality of life, rather than paying 30% and still getting nothing.
Bobocannon@reddit
Absolutely, but I've noticed a tendency for certain types to idealize the scando nations for their high quality of life but then say shit like 'taxation is theft' and think any form of socialism is tankie-talk.
ActuallyCalindra@reddit
Oh yeah, they're obviously commie filth up there. Taking care of each other and trying to improve society isn't right. Big ass military for tax dollars is where it's at. It's what Jesus would want.

Dont forget about the extra tax on relative income too.
Not that I complain, but if you are upper middle class your tax is even higher
ProprietaryIsSpyware@reddit
The government stealing 60% of my income to feed those that don't wanna work don't seem like "perfect" to me.
Zyndrom1@reddit
Lol "stealing". If you're so unhappy with paying taxes go find a deserted island to live on, if you don't want to help and contribute to society then you should not expect the luxury and safety that society brings.
ProprietaryIsSpyware@reddit
There should be options for me to opt out then, if I was filthy rich I'd just move somewhere with minimal to low taxation but that's not feasible for the average Joe.
I don't see how allowing people to opt in and out of your system would impact anyone but the individual.
Zyndrom1@reddit
No no I agree I would encourage the individual to leave if they did not care about society and did not want to support or receive the benefits from it. Just like it's not your fault that you are taxed it is also not my fault that you do not have the means to go to a desolate place to live out your life scavenging off the land without the luxuries of society.

People on welfare here get sent out to work (source: Ive briefly been in that situation), have to apply for min 2 jobs a week, attend resume and job application writing courses etc - all while getting just enough to cover rent, utility expenses, food and other nececities. Besides, we've only got an unemployment rate of 2.6 (compared to 4.10 in the US).
A good chunk of those that are unemployed are on something called "dagpenge" (basically an unemployment fund), which is primarily financed by members via a monthly subscription ("a-kasse") and a little bit of it by the state as well
No_Sundae_1717@reddit
Yeah much prefer places like the US where they don't pay those lazy people. So now those people roam the streets looking to rob anything and everything they can to turn a buck. Much better.
IamWatchingAoT@reddit
The thing with Denmark is you make so much money that even half your wage is more than enough to live comfortably.
alienartissst@reddit
That's why the Asexuals want to take it over.

if a 4chan user is racist don't listen to anything that they say
paucus62@reddit (OP)
ok so i realize there is NO way for me to say this without sounding bad but isn't Finland the most racist country of its region? Yet, they have a top 5 living standards worldwide. Does the racism cancel that out?
Kelainefes@reddit
How do you even rate the racism of a country?
paucus62@reddit (OP)
polls where you ask people questions about race and see the average ratings and stuff
fantastiskelars@reddit
We're still stuck forking over every penny for meds until we hit that pesky 140 Euro yearly threshold. Then it is lowered to 50% for the next 100 Euro. Then it is 75% reduction in medicin price for the next 150 Euro. Then it is 85 % reduction for the next 2500 Euro until we reach a cap of cap around 3100 Euro. Rest is 100% paid by the state :(
The full price of each medication contributes towards reaching these thresholds and the annual cap. For example, a 100 Euro medication would count as 100 Euro towards the relevant threshold or cap, regardless of the percentage you pay.
Very unfair compared to something like the US and A
The_Knife_Pie@reddit
Skissue. In FAR SUPERIOR SVERIGE we pay 150 euro per 365 day period and everything after is free

chat my irony receptors are fried, is it a good system or not?
SWMRepresent@reddit
It is a good system.
fantastiskelars@reddit
Well, no matter how poor you are, you can always get your medicin. If you receive welfare, so no job and you own nothing and just get 1400 Euro each month(approx.), you just get all your medicin for free.
One more party trick is deleting your unpayable debt
If you have like 1 million Euro in debt to different private and non private you can apply for "gældsenering" witch means the government delete yours debt and pay off some or in some cases all of the private debt you have https://www.domstol.dk/alle-emner/gaeld/gaeldssanering/

I noticed anon didn't mention the food.

Denmark started a rennisance within Nordic cuisine, and we have won the title for the best restaurant in the world multiple years in a row recently, but sure, our food sucks.

I thought Europeans had given up on nationalism? what's this beef between countries everyone is talking about?
Citizen_Null5@reddit
The fuck are you on about.. it was obviously a joke
The_Knife_Pie@reddit
If you’re serious, Sweden and denmark have had more recorded wars with each other than any other 2 countries on Earth. Such history is, while forgiven, not even slightly forgotten and so friendly competition and faux nationalism is the replacement.

mooman555@reddit
They're reinvesting all of that income back to their own country /yawn
They'll always be richer due compounding effect
fantastiskelars@reddit
that's because of big oil. if you look at real value like pigs and cows, denmark wins

Was it Denmark or which other European country that wanted to kill all its livestock to reduce the co2? Criminal, if you ask me

People on welfare here get sent out to work (source: Ive briefly been in that situation), have to apply for min 2 jobs a week, attend resume and job application writing courses etc. So unless you have an illness or something it's not gonna allow you to be a neet. Although some of the work you get is pretty chill (if youre not a fat fuck) and only for a couple of hours a day (eg. Helping the parks and rec department clear some bushes)
DUBToster@reddit
Everybody hate Denmark… I don’t want to be hated :(
Tasty-Window@reddit
you're welcome to the NATO umbrella (AKA the USA) to allowing you to provide for your citizens and not worry about defense.
Roi_Loutre@reddit
Danemark is spending more than the 2% required, what the fuck do you mean they "don't worry about defense".
You can keep crying, it's not the reason why the USA doesn't do the same, the reason is that you like sucking billionaires cocks over there.
octofeline@reddit
American coping their government gives their taxes to Israel a country with subsidized healthcare and education 🫵😂

Norway is far better then Denmark. Norway has mountains, while Denmarks highest point is mere 170 Meters above sea level.

Sounds pretty nice. Now if only they weren't the first ones to legalise porn movies and therefore start of major porn addiction we are facing today, I'd think they are the best as well.
