PS: Danes retain the position as the happiest people in the world.

I especially liked:


Tax breaks in Denmark, especially to the rich, have led to a lower level of social welfare,' said Petersen. 'It's taken DKK 20 billion away that could have been used on schools and other important areas. It makes me worry about the Swedish social welfare system.' (RC)

See, even with a 50% tax rate some still worry about tax breaks for the rich and the impact on the social welfare system..... LMAO

Given that Denmark is a happiness mecca one would think that if they raised taxes to say 75% of income they could be even happier.

Just think about how much more happy people would be if the govt stopped robbing them.

They probably don't mind having high taxes since they know most of it goes to native Danes (i.e. tough immigration and citizenship laws)

Is this a play on word in light of Denmark's issues with immigrants rioting recently?

No, I think danmand, serving in his role as an rss feed, posted a survey (in English if you can believe it) stating that Denmark (and not Disney) was the happiest place on earth....
