Scandinavian countries aren't as good as what oppies have described

Sorry to burst your bubble but Scandinavian countries aren't as good as what oppies have described.


In addition to paying enormous taxes — the total bill is 58 percent to 72 percent of income — Danes have to pay more for just about everything. Books are a luxury item. Their equivalent of the George Washington Bridge costs $45 to cross. Health care is free — which means you pay in time instead of money. Services are distributed only after endless stays in waiting rooms. (The author brought his son to an E.R. complaining of a foreign substance that had temporarily blinded him in one eye and was turned away, told he had to make an appointment.) Pharmacies are a state-run monopoly, which means getting an aspirin is like a trip to the DMV.

I am not agreeable to paying over 50% of my income in taxes. It is a huge drain on my productivity, since there is little incentive to do well. What you make is mostly taken away by the State to take care of losers and leeches. I rather buy my own insurance, which is way more affordable.

Your 'productivity'? You are so cute when you talk rubbish.
