Denmark is a place where stoic locals wear sensible shoes and snack on herring sandwiches. Sure, they produce the occasional supermodel, but its most famous countryman may be the late entertainer Victor Borge.
Could the Danes really be the happiest people in the world? When ABC News anchor Bill Weir traveled there to find out, he asked random Danes to rate themselves in terms of happiness, on a scale of one to 10. Many people rated themselves at least an eight, and there were several nines and 10s. Finally, one grouchy Dane came along who said she didn't believe Danes were so happy. But then she quickly conceded that she herself felt rather content with her life, and said Danes in general had very little to complain about.
Danes do have one potential complaint: high taxes. The happiest people in the world pay some of the highest taxes in the world -- between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes. In exchange, the government covers all health care and education, and spends more on children and the elderly than any country in the world per capita. With just 5.5 million people, the system is efficient, and people feel "tryghed" -- the Danish word for "tucked in" -- like a snug child.
Those high taxes have another effect. Since a banker can end up taking home as much money as an artist, people don't chose careers based on income or status. "They have this thing called 'Jante-lov,' which essentially says, 'You're no better then anybody else,'" said Buettner. "A garbage man can live in a middle-class neighborhood and hold his head high."

Progressive meccas like North Korea and Cuba actually have the highest taxes
This is because when people contribute to the Greater Good rather than only focusing on themselves, happiness follows.
Corny? Maybe, but's it's the truth.
I's a myth perpetrated by the ticks on the ass of society.
Like Jesus?

....in Sweden....
Guess what else Denmark has and doesnt have?
- They HAVE the US and British militaries to protect their asses, thus, they have hardly any defense budget, so they can pay for health and education.

Not like Jesus.
Jesus relied on the kindness and charity of strangers and in return he offered spiritual guidance and fellowship. He didn't force anyone to give away their wealth.

Yeah.. they just love unfriendly business taxes.. an income tax structure where 50% of income goes to taxation... a VAT that adds 25% to all purchases... and half of the GDP going to taxation

Everyone pays less for the drugs that America produces than Americans pay for those same drugs. Europe develops lots of medicines, too.They HAVE the United States and Asia investing in all the medical research, which the Danes can use for their healthcare. Since no one gets rich being a doctor there, they rely on the greedy American doctors to invent medicine and procedures to make profits off of, and along the way, heal people.
They HAVE the US and Asia inventing all technologies, so their scientists can earn the same as a fucking puppeteer, and rely on us to invent shit.
Fuck Denmark. They'd speak German, salute and high step, and work in an assembly line if not for the United States.
Oh, and they take care of their people for life.
Thats because the Danish government clones the drugs that US pharma companies created...
I guess drugs are cheaper when you don't spend the time and money to create them from theory to the finished product...
Drugs don't cost a lot to manufacture - they cost a lot because it takes years to create them through trial and error.. Not to mention many pharma companies spend hundreds of millions on research for drugs that turn out to be too dangerous or dont work at all..
Of course the Danish government doesn't have to spend all that money on research - NO they just swoop in and clone the drugs which cost little to nothing to manufacture..

Uh.. nobody thinks they can live for free.. well, except those who pay no federal income tax and derive freebie entitlements from the very same government...
But nice try, troll
