Interesting read, I always enjoy reading Mises articles!

One reader admitted that the Danish welfare state is very expensive but claimed that it is worth the price. If high taxes buy a society where people feel secure, where crime levels are low, and where people are well educated and live long and healthy lives, maybe the high taxes aren't such a terrible thing!

This country was founded on opportunity and not security. That is one reason we are so far ahead of these othere countries economically.

Unfortunately the socialists(democrats) want to turn that around.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

And yet, often one can read in the news stories of people who die preventable deaths simply because they were on a waiting list and unable to get care.

Now you can understand why governments want government-run medicine, can't you?

My mother is a Dane and is up to speed on what's going on in Denmark, and it ain't pretty. The students in schools are as out of control as the ones here, and the 'free' health care is year by year cutting back on services, so you have to pay (again) for more and more services out of your own pocket. The Muslims who are pouring in are bringing with them people (and families back home) needing welfare, criminals, and the desire to establish Sharia law in Denmark.

She cries when she reads stuff like this. Her country is toast.

Somebody should forward this to Bernie Sanders (S-Vt.) after his bizarre pro-Scandinavia, anti-America rant last week.

Ya, but Danes are second only to Americans on the happiness scale.

This guy is spreading too much common sense, truth, and sound analysis. Its time for a Leftist ad hominem attack.

Amazing, so many liberal excuses put to the sword by a thorough and honest analysis. The compelling one was the one about college degrees. The state is willing to pay these people to get smart. The people don't want to give up four years of their lives because they can't get far enough ahead under a 70% taxation regime to justify the sacrifice. Amazing.

The end result of the coming collapse of Socialist Europe will be another World War.
