I Fear For The Future Of America

[b][u][quote]"Denmark...The Happiest People in the World"[/quote][/u][/b]

For those of you who believe that Socialism is the answer to our problems, please read this. It comes from a school teacher in Denmark...The Happiest People in the World"

I am a school teacher from Denmark making about $61,000 a year.
We get free education. You don't have to pay for a doctor, the hospital, and students even get paid to study. It all sounds so great....Right?

Oh BTW. I forgot to mention.....nothing is ever free.
The lowest personal income tax in Denmark is a minimum 40 percent.

Also we pay a sales tax of 25%, and on top of sales tax the government applies further (Generally hidden) duties and fees, applied to almost everything, making it really hard for lower-class people to get by, causing them to be deeply dependant on government handouts.

A gallon of gas is about $10,00. Tax on a car is 180 percent, which brings a car value a bit over $20,000.
in the United States (e.g,,Honda Accord) up to an astounding $50,000 dollars in Denmark.

Denmark is the highest taxed nation in the world----Taxed an average of 80% of every earned dollar. Caused by excessive taxation, Danes also have the highest private dept in the world. Very few will ever own a car or a house here, banks generally do....hypocritically, the very same bankers that the collectivists despise. Anyone who makes over $80,000 annually pay a personal tax of 68%. This means that all people with higher earnings have either have found ways to evade taxes, or left the country, often bringing their companies with them, making employment scarcly low.

Denmark's suicide rate has averaged 20.8 per 100,000 during the last 5 decades,with it's highest level of 32%. The American suicide rate averaged only 11.1 during the last five decades, and has never exceeded 12.7. Danes are deeply deprived, driven by severe narcissism, and so more than 11 percent of adult D....the supposed happiest people in the world...are on antidepressants. Well of course Danes are happy: they are medicated to be!

Everyone wants the American Dream. In Denmark's neo-communism no one will ever own or accomplish anything.
