Dirty and underhand business practices in third world dumps.

There's another side to the smiley friendly Danes.

Dirty and underhand business practices in third world dumps.

Before President Trump was elected, half of Hollywood and many other libs made sacred vows to leave the country for places like Denmark if The Donald won.

Well, Trump won, and DeNiro, Alec Baldwin, DiCrappio, Cher, RBG, etc. are still in this country.

Believe me, our lib friends don't want to go to Denmark either.

If Denmark is superior (it isn't) there is only one reason why....

They don't have scum of the Earth dimocrap FILTH to contend with

They said they were leaving 15 or so years ago when Bush Jr was elected to a second term.

The evidence is quite compelling. Repubs like to think that both they, and the US, is superior to anyone else in the world but the truth is countries like Denmark are really just laughing at them.

1) Unemployed workers get 90% of their previous salary for two years.

Denmark has a tremendous social safety net for unemployed workers — any worker who worked at least 52 weeks over a three-year period can qualify to have 90 percent of their original salarypaid for, for up to two years. The Danish government also has plentiful training programs for out-of-work Danes. As a result, 73 percent of Danes between 15 and 64 have a paying job, compared to 67 percent of Americans.

2) Denmark spends far less on healthcare than the US does.

According to the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), the US spends twice as much per capita on healthcare than in Denmark, where taxpayer-funded universal healthcare is available for all citizens.2009 OECD data shows that the U.S. spent an average of $7,290 per person on healthcare. Denmark spent just $3,512. World Bank data, as seen in the chart above, shows Danish healthcare costs are about $3,000 less per capita than in the US.

3) Denmark is the happiest place on Earth

The World Happiness Report, which determines which nation’s population is the “happiest” using criteria like life expectancy, GDP, social safety nets, as well as factors like “perception of corruption” and “freedom to make life choices,” found that Denmark was the happiest country. The US, in the meantime, ranked #17 on the same list.

4)Denmark has the shortest work week on average.

Denmark leads every other OECD nation in work-life balance. Danes work an average of 37 hours a week, earn an average of $46,000 USD annually, and have the right to 5 weeks of paid vacation per year. Here in the US, the average worker puts in an average of 47 hours a week, and only takes 16 days of vacation a year. This is largely due to a more stressful work climate, in which wages are stagnating while costs are rising. Combine that with a highly-competitive job market, and that means more Americans are willing to chain themselves to their desk then to risk taking vacation days and coming back to find someone else took their job.

5) Denmark pays students $900 per month to attend college.

Here in the US, the cost of going to college has soared by over 500 percent in the last 30 years. But in Denmark, not only is college free, but students are actually paid $900 USD per month to go to school, provided they live on their own. And this funding lasts up to six years. By contrast, the average US student pays over $31,000 a year in tuition to attend a private university, out-of-state residents at public universities pay $22,000 a year in tuition, and tuition costs for in-state residents at those same universities is still over $9,000.

6) Denmark has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world.

In Denmark, despite a short work week and a generous social safety net, workers make more than enough to meet basic needs. According to per capita income data from the World Bank, Denmark’s per capita income is roughly $5,000 higher than in the US.

7) Denmark has one of the lowest poverty rates. The US has one of the highest.

The benefits of living in Denmark are far-reaching — out of all OECD countries, Denmark has the second-lowest poverty rate at 0.6 percent. To compare, the OECD average of 11.3 percent is still lower than the 14.5 percent poverty rate in the US.

8) Denmark is rated #1 for best country for business

In 2014, Forbes ranked Denmark as the #1 best country for business.

Forbes used 11 different criteria to rank countries — innovation, property rights, red tape, taxes, investor protection, stock market performance, technology, corruption, personal freedom, freedom of trade, and monetary freedom.

Under the same criteria, the US ranked #18.

9) New parents in Denmark get 52 weeks of paid leave. US parents don't get shit.

The Danish government gives new parents an average of 52 weeks — a full year — of paid time off after having a child. Those 52 weeks can be allocated however the parents wish. In addition to the 52 weeks, new moms get 4 weeks of maternity leave before giving birth and 14 weeks after. Even new fathers get 2 additional weeks after the birth of their child. But here in the US, 1 in 4 new mothers go back to work within two weeks of having a child.

This is what Democratic Socialism really looks like. Is this the dystopian nightmare that Republicans are making it out to be, or an ideal vision of what Americans could have if we came together and demanded it from our government?


Here are 9 reasons Denmark's socialist economy leaves the US in the dust

And once again you see the abysmal lack of ability to comprehend even the most basic understanding of economics, as well as the ability to tell the difference between an apple and an orange.
God people are stupid.

 

[Claudette]

Hey if Denmark is so great then the Op should move his happy ass there. Sayonara.

Denmark is changing. The new center-left government is taking a hard stand against immigrants and problems funding Denmark's social welfare program are increasingly evident:

"Cuts to healthcare services have led to the closure of one-quarter of state hospitals in the past decade, and one recent survey showed more than half of Danes did not believe the public health service offered the right treatments, prompting more than one-third to take out private health insurance, compared with 4% in 2003."

"Other cuts over the past 10 years have led to the closure of about one-fifth of state schools, while spending per person on services such as care homes, cleaning and rehabilitation after illness for the over-65s has fallen by one-quarter."

Denmark's centre-left set to win election with anti-immigration shift

The new center-left government is promising to increase welfare spending but given how high taxes already are begs the question of where the new government will get the money to increase spending?

.

If Denmark is so great does that include their anti-immigration policies?

.

Since they are over run with Muslim's I'd say their anti immigration policies are for shit.

Denmark has as many problems with death cult members as the rest of the Scandinavian countries and Europe.

The crazy thing IMHO, is that if Mr. Trump had made the promise to throw them out of the country when he won, the same libtards would have had a conniption.

But when liberal George C. Wallace made a promise in 1968 to deport America's African American population, libs didn't say a thing about it.

If Denmark is superior (it isn't) there is only one reason why....

They don't have scum of the Earth dimocrap FILTH to contend with

Who would want to live in a country that doesn't recognize inalienable rights?

 

[Dale Smith]

Denmark's population is around 5.8 million people. It also has a central bank and it's debt is around 36% of their GDP. and the tax rate is around 56%..........

Population is a meaningless argument as soon as it gets above 4 million...

And.... They seem to get a lot for there taxes... The have low debt because they have a well run country...

I have worked in Denmark (and Sweden and Germany) they consider:

• Education an investment (which it is and yields 9 times the investment in extra tax revenue).
• They don't have much in natural resources
• They are big into wind turbines.. So much so they manufacturer them and export them to a lot of Europe.
• 13.1% of the country population are not born in Denmark (US is 14.4%). So there is not much there.

Leftards LOVE taxation on paper notes of debt derived from another's labor. Why they believe that they are entitled to half of one's earnings is a mystery to me. If a man worked all day for a loaf of bread? Leftards would insist on half of it.

 

[CowboyTed]

• Education an investment (which it is and yields 9 times the investment in extra tax revenue).

Countries like Denmark just don't allow everyone to attend college you know, and don't allow anyone to study what they want once they get there.

Students are put on a track depending on their caste at a young age, and if you are a low caste, you won't get near a college unless you apply for a job as a janitor

You are for real... Where did you get caste from... That comes from India...

Denmark has actually one of the lowest class streaming in Europe.

Entry to University is merit based just like the rest of Europe generally...

Are you saying the courses you get to pick should decided by how wealthy the vagina you fell out off...

"merit based" means that the Government decides who goes to the university and who doesn't. It isn't up to the people.

Here in America, if you want to go to college, its between you and the school with no govt interference.

 

[CowboyTed]

The evidence is quite compelling.

1) Unemployed workers get 90% of their previous salary for two years.

• Sounds great. Why haven't your democrats proposed a bill for that?

2) Denmark spends far less on healthcare than the US does.

• They likely don't have the FDA poisoning them with all this processed artificial food like here.

3) Denmark is the happiest place on Earth

• I'd be happy too in any country without people like you!

4) Denmark has the shortest work week on average.

• Comes from not having a government rife with Democrat corruption.

5) Denmark pays students $900 per month to attend college.

• Still waiting for the Democrats to propose that.

6) Denmark has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world.

• The DNC wants to take all our money in higher taxes.

7) Denmark has one of the lowest poverty rates. The US has one of the highest.

• Comes from not having a corrupt government which profits from dependence on democrat government programs.

8) Denmark is rated #1 for best country for business

• Your attacks against Trump show that Democrats are 100% anti-business. You constantly slap rules and regulations on business here!

9) New parents in Denmark get 52 weeks of paid leave. US parents don't get shit.

• Still yet again something I haven't seen your DNC propose for here! The DNC is anti-child, they want all new children to come in from Mexico!

You know that Denmark is to the left of the Democrats... In Europe Democrats would be center right party...

Your post is a nonsensical, blame Democrats for everything while taking responsibility for nothing.

If Denmark Government polices were proposed in US tomorrow you condemn them as communist/Socialist/Stealing.....

The OP is just showing that a Democratic Socialist Government is running its country better than the present administration.. If Denmark are Great, what policies is the Trump Administration bringing in which make them more like Denmark...

Yeah anyone can run a country better if they only have the population of a US city and the majority of them was one ethnic group.

Same immigration percentage as US almost...

Are you saying Denmarks ideas aren't scalable... Could you explain to us in detail the programs in Denmark which are not scalable and why?

Denmark is not tiny and very similar programs are used in Germany and UK...

[Polishprince]

Denmark is not tiny and very similar programs are used in Germany and UK...

The UK and Germany are failed countries as well.

I'd rather be in America

 

[iamwhatiseem]

...Here in America, if you want to go to college, its between you and the school with no govt interference.

I hope you're not serious.
I would just go ahead and delete this post if I was you

 

[Meister]

Well, just did a little research on Google....Denmark has a VAT of 25%, and personal income of 45%.

Billy can have that government, I'll take mine

[Terri4Trump]

It is absurd to suggest that our nation is incapable of emulating European nations.

Only an idiot would want to emulate a bunch of lazy fucks who gave us Communism, Fascism, Hitler, Stalin, and two world wars.

We left Europe for a reason you half-witted fuck. Those morons still have royalty for crap's sake.

 

[Mike Dwight]

As others have noted, a large majority of these are about the 95% socialist-toward-communist government pretending it can take care of everything. The other ones are made up, such as everyone up there is more likely to suffer from winter depression. Totally made up.
