9 Crucial Ways Denmark is Superior to the US

You gotta be kidding. The U.S. cares for ten times the number of illegal aliens than the entire population of Denmark. They only have 5.7 million people and 13% live below the poverty level. The main industry is farming in a country that is iced up for six months out of the year and they import 99% of their fossil fuel.
 
You know that Denmark is to the left of the Democrats... In Europe Democrats would be center right party...
No, I think Democrats would fit right in nicely.
Your post is a nonsensical, blame Democrats for everything while taking responsibility for nothing.
And yet I don't see YOU taking responsibility for a thing.
If Denmark Government polices were proposed in US tomorrow you condemn them as communist/Socialist/Stealing.....
I'm already doing that. Like I said, not much difference from present Leftist/Progressive/Democrat thinking. They look up to Europe as their role model.
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...
Hopefully none. The OP and you are just revealing their ignorance. Denmark and the USA are as different as night and day. You cannot expect a similar system much less that it might give a similar result without being utterly naive.

Utterly Naive: yes, the average, modern democrat.
 
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%..........

Yeah, Denmark would not be so happy if they had 300+million people from all walks of life...
 
I'd suggest the OP move to the tiny country of Denmark, but he doesn't have the work ethic.
 
Population really in theory should have no real bearing if a specific system (health, education, or general economic) would work or not for a country as long as there’s not a huge disparity in incomes and cultural norms. Thats the main issue and difference in the US as compared to say Denmark or Norway or Finland where populations are fairly homogenous and incomes aren’t on such a wide spectrum as they are here. Denmark’s system applied to the US without adjusting the system based on circumstances and general life in this country so that it works here would simply lead to failure.

The problem with many in the Democratic Party when they want systems or policies like the Nordic system is that they fail to truly articulate how they will adapt it to our population, our incomes, our cultural norms so that it works in conjunction with what is already successful here. It’s doomed to fail if you just want to copy all aspects of it and assume it will work in my opinion. That being said we can take the best ideas and principles of those systems and adapt it to ours and you could see success if some right.
 
Denmark doesn't have 38M blacks and 22M illegals scrounging off the white race.

To be fair, black folks are not substantially more dependent than white folks.

Get rid of the 30 million illegals who are driving down the job market and the dependency problem is greatly alleviated. But, that's not the goal of the commie left.

Look at the black prison population in the US compared to any other race...it's astonishing.
 
Denmark has the 5th highest cost of living....in the world.
Average rent for a one bedroom apartment within the city is $1500 (usd). Keep in mind, you have a 56% tax rate.

and here is a LUXURIOUS, top of the line kitchen in Denmark...I'm talkin... tippy top.

You're not wrong. The dispute is the cause. Some say racism. Others point to broken homes. Others point to the availability of narcotics.

I honestly don't know. Perhaps it is a combination of all.

Either way, the black population is not really the problem. The illegal population is.
 
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?

The wealthy people of Denmark do not have their people entrapped in debt like the U.S.

If you don't have your people entrapped in debt, you don't have a nation of slaves.

So how can anyone believe that Denmark is superior?
