Right wingnut oversimplifications. So their tax rates are higher, so fucking what? Money in money out. Our health care system, which costs over twice GDP what the system in Denmark costs should be more than enough to pound into your thick Hannityesque skull that taxes are far from the worst, and most unfair burdens on the people. Does it matter whether it comes out of our pockets via taxes, or via increased health care premiums, increased health care costs, increased pharmaceutical costs, increased end of life care costs? It sure fucking does...when it's costing us double what it has to because we're idiots who bought the "we should hate taxes and love corporate profits" shell game from the voodoo econ vampires in the Reagan Admin.
The Danes most definitely have it made. For one other reason...they're not Americans who want what they want, want it right fucking now, and want somebody else to pay for it.
...indeed.
