[QUOTE="klein, post: 832537, member: 23950"] Let me get to this, since some of you are totally against any sort of socialisum (as being like Europe, or even your neighbor up north). In the last few recent days, I posted on different threads about Denmark. They are the highest taxed in the western world, somewhere around the 40% mark or more. Oddly enough though, they are the worlds' happiest people ! They don't need to worry about heath or dental care costs, not even daycare costs (provided by the government) They have a 37 hr work week, and probably a retirement age of 60. 5 or 6 weeks mandatory vacation (does not go by seniority there) - If you started work in Denamrk, or even Germany today, you'ld still be entitled to almost 4 weeks for the remaining of the year. Minimum wage in Denmark is a whopping 103.5 Denmark Krones per hr ! (2009 figures). That's $20 per hr ! Might get some people thinking is capitalisum, and each and everyone fighting on their own, to survive, better then the Denmark way of living ? Oh yeah, and they are kind of rich compared to any other western country. Richer then Germany and well above the European average : Budget surpluses and falling unemployment helped Denmark cut its public debt to 27 percent of GDP in 2007, from 52 percent in 2000. This freed the government to stimulate the economy during the financial crisis. [/QUOTE]
