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

[Isogallardo]

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.
