9 reasons Denmark's government/economy is better than the US's

[Skull Pilot]

and paying it all in the additional exorbitant taxes

They are probably getting a much better deal than us. Look at how many go deeply in debt here to go to school.

The thing you fail to realize is that no one has to get into debt to go to school. You can go part time and pay as you go. That's how I graduated with no debt. So what if it took me an extra year I had far more work experience.

And there's also the fact that not everyone needs to go to college

So average college course is $31k... What were you doing at work?

Never heard of going part time?

The first 2 years of credits can be taken anywhere and most colleges will accept the transfer.

Or you could do what some people like me did and work a full time night job and go to school during the day.

It is not impossible in fact it is very doable IF you do it

So people can afford it if they take forever to graduate. I fail to see how that is better. The job options without a degree are pretty aweful.

It doesn't take forever maybe a year or 2 more depending on how much you work. And an employer does not penalize an applicant for taking a little longer to graduate in fact my experience was just the opposite. People who work their way through generally are more mature and have work experience and have demonstrated their perseverance and drive more than the guy who majored in beer pong for 4 years

And there are plenty of jobs available that require no degree and will pay more than some bullshit degree like a BS in Psych or a BA in women's studies.

I know plumbers who make more than 100K a year, carpenters who make more than that. An electrician can make a great living

And unlike another schmo with a useless BS we actually need skilled tradesmen

You aren't gong to college if you can score a plumber job.

You see that is the thing... We do courses in Europe which actually mean full time...

It was impossible to do my course in university and work even a part time job.. By the way I was doing Actuarial Maths and Statistics which had an average workday of 14 hours a day..

You might have done a phone in course but people who believe in proper education know top courses need full attention..

Sorry no. I worked full time and went to school either part or full time depending on scheduling. I graduated with my first BS in the top 10% of my class. Flew through a second BS and got an MBA my diploma is the exact same one all those other kids got but mine said Cum Laude

And FYI they didn't have internet courses back then. I did take advantage of the CLEP tests

And a lot of people who should go to college and get a useless degree and they'll join the rest of the baristas at Starbucks and then whine about being in debt

Sorry man, you might have passed some course somewhere in the world...

I went to university and got an education... I grew up on a farm so I knew how to work while in university, but I didn't...

I come from a family background where you go to university for an education not a piece of paper...

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Write it off?

how the fuck could we apply any of that to America?

We're massive and our governance structure is very different. 900 dollars for tuition in the American education market? How far is that going ot get you?

Oh that's the American way, it's impossible.

I think we should look at what they are doing and possibly take from it. It is free college plus $900. Think any student would be happy with that

Free anything is worth exactly what you pay and is appreciated just as much.

Yes it is so bad they are the happiest country in the world.

What say we have a happiest city in the world contest....

Or happiest state....after all, about half our states could kick Denmark's ass by themselves (they are bigger).

What does that even mean?

Think about it chuckles.....

Why don't we rate states from 1 to 50 the same way. Why can't states work towards what the OP is espousing without dragging the rest of them along ?

Half our states are larger than Denmark.

Funny how every employer I had before I started my own business had no issue with my education.

Then again I got degrees in engineering not some waste of time liberal arts major

And when someone doesn't have Mummy and Dada paying for it he does whatever it takes

So shove your snobbery up your ass because we all know that 4 classes a day and the requisite work involved can easily be done while working rather than playing beer pong and chasing tail

 

[elektra]

Another great thing about Denmark is they produce so much food they feed more people in the World than the USA.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

3) Denmark is the happiest place on Earth

Like little children in a nursery school, the happy Danes frolic about while Mommy and Daddy keep away the realities of the world from them so they can enjoy themselves.

Don't worry, little Danes. America will do all the heavy lifting and grownup work and keep you safe and sound in your little cocoon.

Our military has done a great job bringing peace to the Middle East...

Red Herring moron.

Let's drop NATO and the Danes.....when we bail them out again...they'll get a huge bill.

When is that going to happen?

You tell me.

That used to be how you could do it. Cost of school is becoming too much for that now. Wages are stagnant. Cost of school skyrocketing.

you still can

Why the Student Loan Crisis Is Even Worse Than People Think

The student loan "crisis" exists because the government decided to guarantee student loans and make money off of the people stupid enough to take them

Yes has nothing to do with the increasing costs of college. You live in a hole?

It's been shown that college prices went up as student loan money became more available.

 

[elektra]

the government charges more for everything, they are in the business of screwing the people

 

[Sun Devil 92]

ANyone mention that Denmark has no minimum wage and corporate taxes are a third lower than ours?

Well,

It appears that Billy000 existed her thread with part of it dangling from her rear.

Not sure if she'll comment on this.

You can say that to my employees or bank manager...

I happy for any of ye to try and defend the US education system over Europe's.. Europe involves next to no debt and produces better results..

I have employees on both sides of the Atlantic.. The US guys are great and I have a lot of time for them.. They say they are envious of the EU system that drastically reduces the stress while offering the best education...

Denmark's personal income tax rate is 56%
The sales tax is 25%
Denmark Personal Income Tax Rate | 1995-2016 | Data | Chart | Calendar

If you want the government to take 56% of your income and pay 25% more for everything then feel free to get your ass on a plane and go.

People have a problem with the government taking their money, and would rather pay double for something, than have the govt take the money and pay for it.

It's quite bizarre.

People are accepting of the corruption in healthcare, simply so the govt doesn't get involved. They'll pay quite a of their money towards this, more than most people in other countries will pay in taxes for their healthcare.

Pay double for what?
I never paid exorbitant health insurance premiums until I had to start paying for all kinds of shit I don't need or want

The less of your own money that you are allowed to keep means you are less able to make your own choices and the government makes them for you.
You lose control over your own life.

You really have no clue how universal healthcare works...

Lets us explain... The Government offers a basic healthcare package which will cover basic hospital care, drugs & extensive primary care (GP Visits)... It is basic and you pay a bit and there is waiting lists on issues that not life threatening...

We also have top up health insurance... This offers practically no waiting lists, private room, better choice of doctors....

So you get a choice... If the insurance company try any funny shit you have a safety net and the government can go after your money... So insurance companies are more likely to pay...

My insurance is about $100 a month in Ireland.

LMAO. From the time you graduated up to the present, someone stole your education. Matter of fact, they got into your head and stole your common sense as well.

You learn everything you wanted to know about flat tax in college? Lots of good that has done you. Lmao.

Now you need to post tax returns and diplomas. Some people might not believe what you claim.

If you are losing control of your life because you pay taxes, that would make you a real head case. Wtf.

You really struggle to make it don't ya?
