Denmark's mixed economy features above average European living standards[69][70] and high amount of free trade. Denmark ranks 16th in the world in terms of GDP (PPP) per capita and ranks 5th in nominal GDP per capita.

According to World Bank Group, Denmark has the most flexible labour market in Europe; the policy is called flexicurity. It is easy to hire and fire (flexibility), and between jobs, unemployment compensation is very high (security). Denmark has a labour force of about 2.9 million. Denmark has the fourth highest ratio of tertiary degree holders in the world.[71] GDP per hour worked was the 13th highest in 2009. Denmark has the world's lowest level of income inequality, according to the UN, and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF. As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 6.6%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%.[72]

Denmark is one of the most competitive economies in the world according to World Economic Forum 2008 report, IMD and The Economist.[73] According to rankings by OECD, Denmark has the most free financial markets in EU-15 and also one of the most free product markets.

Of course - when 10% of the country financially supports the other 90% - the 90% will be happy with the free shit they receive from the other 10%. So naturally 90% of the country will be "happy."

Then why is their economy working perfectly well and ours is not?

Because the smaller the economy the less the strain. Besides no economy is perfect...

Look what happened when Europe adopted the Euro and abandoned their native currencies.. Shit went down the tubes..

The more people the more problems...

Keynesian economics and or socialism only works for small countries, even then it's reliant on resources and or exports...

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."

Hmm, Lets see they have no Defense Budget, a Tiny population, and interestingly if you add up all the Taxes an American Pays. Federal, State, Local, Sales ETC. we actually pay nearly the same rate they do.

But then don't let a little thing like ALL the facts get in your way.

At least someone understands that. Just making sure someone realized that they are only able to do this because of their population.

Well in theory they're all leeches, just so happens most of them at least work and make some economic contribution... Nothing like the US where we have welfare cities in which hundreds of thousands don't work, don't intend to work and have no desire to work and contribute nothing to the community and economy but are financially supported by the hard working taxpayers via the government anyways...

If I can stick to it, this year I plan to track every cent of taxes I pay. State, federal, and city are easy. But we pay a lot of hidden taxes. I am going to try to keep receipts and track all of it. I doubt I get to keep 50% of my money after all the taxes I pay.

If you happen to live in Nassau County on Long Island NY you are one of the highest taxed people around..I know that will make the Democrats happy hearing that.But to them there is no such thing as paying too much in taxes.

 

[bripat9643]

That's real scientific: a reporter asked some people how happy they were. Only a grade-A moron would swallow that. I have met a number of people from Denmark and all they ever talk about is the high taxes and how expensive everything is.

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.

They are not a nanny state they are a nanny nation....
I love how the Libs love this kinda shit.
Total utopia while everyone else pays the freight.

SORRY BUT YOU'R WRONG BIGTIME.

The only NANNY COUNTRY HAS BEEN THE USA......their exploitation of the REAL WORLD knows NO Bounds,and if the YANKS can't rob you they go to WAR WITH YOU,If you stand up to them they go to WAR with YOU.

NO the yankees have had a high standard living because of the expliotation of others...they think god knows why..that they are productive.....they are NOT....most are overweight lazy SLOBS.......THAT IS TODAYS AMERICA....LAZY AND BROKE....complain about Denmark or other clever Countries.....FCUK OFF and go back to sleep you MORONS tor

Well that's because the democrats believe the federal government owns everything anyways and they just allow the people to keep an allowance of what they earn..

Democrats don't adhere to the notion of private property or income.... That is plain as day given what they expect and how they treat the middle class, wealthy and private sector..

They expect us to fund their democrat voting base with welfare and the finest things in life just so they continue to vote democrat and keep them in power...

More like the world exploits the United States..

Do you have any fucking idea how much money in aid we give to even our enemies?? you have any idea how much money we spent on war protecting our allies??

Every time a country is in trouble who the FUCK do they run to???

Of course this is the thanks we get...

Fuck off bitch...

If it wasn't for the US World War III would have already came and ended and the world would probably be speaking Chinese or maybe even German...

There would be more war not less war without the US...... Because we're the ones who prevent other nations from crusading and conquering...

Yes, when one is born into socialism, they have no frame of reference. Also I think I remember reading the country has little or no multiculturalism???? Just the Danes?

They also have no incentive to succeed, hence innovation is rare..

This is why true socialist nations create nothing anyone wants.... Socialism is meant to sustain not create...

Socialism is truly, truly sad...

Most Americans self-identify as conservative. Liberals claim they're wrong.

Danes self-identify as happy, in spite of their high taxes. Liberals trumpet this from the rooftop.

The moral of the story: Liberals believe what they want to believe.

You know you can voluntarily send in as much money as you want to the Irs,, if that's what it takes to make you happy.. tell us how much you've decided to contribute to your happiness.

Leftists are only happy when they take money from others.
