Actually it's Nevada but don't let your stupidity get in the way.

What point? Go away.

Okay. Let me mock Denmark. According to Trading Economics, the Personal Income Tax Rate in Denmark is currently 55.60 percent, while it “averaged 61.40 percent from 1995 until 2014, reaching an all time high of 65.90 percent in 1997 and a record low of 55.40 percent in 2010.”

So, that wonderful wage of $25 just went to $8.75 to $11.25. While your liberal friend might be quick to say that’s still higher than the United States’ minimum wage, they haven’t factored in a few more of those pesky facts.
Denmark’s sales tax is 25%. In the United States, sales tax varies by state, with 5 states having no sales tax at all, while California has the highest sales tax rate of 7.5%. So, with the worst case scenario being California, you’d still only be paying less than a third of the sales tax you’d pay in Denmark.

That $25 wage that looked so good until it was cut in more than half with the income tax, just got you even less. But Denmark isn’t done there.
Consumer Prices in Denmark are 15.88% higher than in United States, while consumer prices including rent are 4.78% higher. But the real hurt on you wallet is in restaurant prices, which are 43.93% higher than the United States. Don’t think you’ll save money eating at home either, because grocery prices are also higher. To top it off, clothing prices are four times that of the price in the U.S.

If you are in the market for a new car, you are in for quite the shocker since Denmark has a 180% car tax, meaning that $20,000 sedan will cost you $50,000 right off the bat.
Although their wage is higher, Danes don’t have more disposable income.

Average monthly disposable salary for Danes is about the same as the United States. Once increased cost for goods, necessities, and entertainment, is factored in the average American is more “well off” than the average Dane.

Danes are “happy” because they are medicated, but their suicide rate shows they aren’t more happy than Americans at all.

While Iceland has the highest level of consumption of antidepressants, it is followed by Portugal and, yep, you guessed it, Denmark. As a matter of fact, it’s been found that the “happiest” countries take the most antidepressants. At least their “happy pills” are given to them free from their government… and that wouldn’t be to keep them complacent or anything, would it?

Unfortunately, even with all the medications and reports of “happiness,” the suicide rate in Denmark has been about twice that of the United States for the last five decades. So, these people who are so much happier than Americans are killing themselves twice as often. While “happy” can only be subjectively reported, statics are an objective measurement, and with this suicide rate, it doesn’t support their claim of being “happier.”

Here's another more mind-boggling bit of information. In Denmark, if you use pepper spray on an attacker to avoid being raped, you can be fined about $70. This recently happened to a teenage girl who thwarted her own rape. Her rapist got away and is a free man, meanwhile, she’s facing charges and fines for defending herself. Denmark is NOT the utopia they imagined.

Denmark, the quality of the free education and health care is substandard: They are way down on the PISA [Programme for International Student Assessment] educational rankings, have the lowest life expectancy in the region, and the highest rates of death from cancer. And there is broad consensus that the economic model of a public sector and welfare state on this scale is unsustainable. The Danes’ dirty secret is that its public sector has been propped up by — now dwindling — oil revenues.

Danes are also experiencing a rising debt level, and a lower proportion of people working. Are these worrying signs for its economy or the country’s model?

Yes, many economists have specifically warned of the Danes’ private debt levels. Perhaps more seriously, productivity has been somewhat stagnant and there is a dire skills shortage.

California deserves to be mocked due to Governor Moon Beam and the liberals running that state into the ground. It'll be interesting too see what happens to their socialism when the new Trump tax policies go into effect. :) I've visited Denmark several times. It's beautiful but no place like home.

This was Georgia... something to say?

Yep, he's a liberal idiot.

Actually, it's Virginia. You know a different state but don't let your ignorance kick you in the ass on the way out.
