‘Let’s Steal Those Ideas’: Sen. Bernie Sanders Wants U.S. to Adopt Denmark’s Highly-Taxed System
Breitbart ^ | 01/28/2025 | Amy Furr

Posted on 01/28/2025 10:47:19 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) apparently wants America to mimic Denmark’s financial system in a pivot that would further burden taxpayers.

In a recent social media post, Sanders suggested the United States adopt the Dane’s system wherein steep taxes ensure citizens may enjoy universal healthcare, a college education at no cost, and guaranteed paid leave, Shore News Network reported.

Denmark controls Greenland, and President Donald Trump said in December prior to his inauguration that American ownership of Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for national security and freedom, per Breitbart News.

Sanders appeared to be referring to that issue in his social media post.

He wrote, “Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea. In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.”

Denmark isn’t responsible for policing the world’s oceans, or protecting all of NATO, or developing and testing most of the world’s drugs.

I have an even better idea, let’s use their voter id laws. The Dems seem to hate the European voter id laws.

Keep sayin’ it Bernie. Doesn’t work anymore-at least for now.

They’re going to need another crisis to not let go to waste. They’re working on it.

I looked it up. Denmark is importing immigrants as fast as the US is (did)

Won’t be long before they reduce themselves to 3rd world status.

Isn’t it weird how an 80 year old socialist, espousing 175 year old, failed marxism, is considered by MSM and college libtards as “the new thing?”

Bernie Sanders is a living monument to the stupidity of Vermont voters.

Meanwhile Denmark is exporting the super rich:

(leftist article but rather amusing—obviously the wealthy don’t think the taxes are a minor issue)

The shame of the majority of Vermont voters goes on and on.

Bernie should be like those Communist Party USA candidates who got on ballots with 1% or less year after year.

But he was re-elected with 63.16% over GOP Gerald Malloy’s 32.07% in 2024.

Now I’m worried that Greenland is going to buy us.

Government should only do what people can’t do themselves.

One can borrow for a college education.

One can save up for a baby.

Instead of a bridal registry, the bride could get promises to pay for maternity leave.

Hi, you’re going to be eating our very expensive food and drinking our very costly booze.

We’re going to be working hard on making a baby come forth. Put down what you can afford to pledge to support me and our future baby.

Funnier is that he became wealthy off of government employment.
