| #4 Sure, free education, free health care and free elderly care all sounds great, but why stop there? As someone proposed: In a perfect world, we'd all lie blind and motionless in stacked coffins filled with pudding. It would be dark and warm and nobody would have to compete with anybody and also the government would pay for the pudding. |

| #3 Free, uh? when government takes more than 50% of your earnings, you work for the government. Or don't work and sponge off the government. |

| #2 Safer reported that the Danes get a free education through college, free health care and free elder care. We did a double take, then turned to each other and said, "We should move to Denmark!" It took all of three seconds to google 'Tax Rate Denmark' to get: Denmark has the highest income tax rate, with its top-taxed citizens paying 68% of their hard-earned crowns. The basic tax rate begins at 42%. Free, uh? when government takes more than 50% of your earnings, you work for the government. Tax thrall. |
