an income taxes for individuals are at 40% - would you support that also?Yeah, we need strong unions, and a good labor party. Denmark is capitalist, but also has some elements of socialism, so the Danish system could work as well, in conjunction with stronger unions.
Well, 30% in the US is close to 40%. At least it is not 50% or more.an income taxes for individuals are at 40% - would you support that also?
Depends how that fits in with the rest of the picture.an income taxes for individuals are at 40% - would you support that also?
I encourage you to look closer -Well, 30% in the US is close to 40%. At least it is not 50% or more.
Well, you get cheaper healthcare, and cheaper college in DK.I encourage you to look closer - View attachment 346052
Keep in mind - 61,000 DKK is

That's right - if you live in Denmark and you make a whopping $8,772 a year - your tax rate is capped at 52%
People in the US making 8,727 pay NOTHING
Absolutely as you take home 4,000 a year - good stuff!Well, you get cheaper healthcare, and cheaper college in DK.
Well, your graph is different.Absolutely as you take home 4,000 a year - good stuff!
Mine is from Denmark. And BTW - your graph is seven years old
Yeah, not a lot changes in 7 years in the US. And yes, Denmark does not have taxes that are as progressive as one hopes, but it is a start. The US does have the most progressive taxes in the world, but we have huge inequalities in the US (high Gini index)Mine is from Denmark. And BTW - your graph is seven years old
If you honestly think is it better to give the government more than half of what you earn, we have a great chasm between our thoughts and beliefs.Yeah, not a lot changes in 7 years in the US.

Yes, we do. You do you. Or maybe we should place profit margin caps of 25% on big pharma, which will lower medical costs for all.If you honestly think is it better to give the government more than half of what you earn, we have a great chasm between our thoughts and beliefs.
Did I say they were directly comparable? You appear to be building a straw man. What I'm saying is you have densely populated countries (much of North Western Europe, Japan, etc.), you have extremely large countries with smaller populations that are somewhat more diverse (Canada). You have South Korea, Germany, Spain, etc. Somehow all these diverse countries seem to have made government paid healthcare for all work. We aren't just comparing against Norway, or against Canada -- we have the entire First World (and even many second and third world countries) to use as examples of how it can work.
Why would you want to limit a persons ability to create wealth (which benefits the economy as a whole)? We are the worlds wealthiest country BECAUSE of our system not in spite of it. Exactly how would limiting higher wages benefit the economy? Who and how would that be enforced (more taxes I assume (typical solution of liberals) and how would it be used to "benefit" the average American?I feel like placing a limit on CEO wealth to $1B could help. If we have a minimum wage in this country, a maximum wealth limit could be set. People can debate how high or low this limit could be set.
Prices have grown by 20 percent overall since 2020, with energy prices the most volatile, which is interesting as the unemployment rate, is lower.The economy now is better than it was back in 1929, and is actually better now compared to the 2020 levels.
Well, there’s these wars going on that destabilize the international oil markets.Prices have grown by 20 percent overall since 2020, with energy prices the most volatile, which is interesting as the unemployment rate, is lower.
One wonders what profits food producers are realizing of late.What Americans notice is that their FOOD bill is continuing to become much higher in the last 3 yrs, and that is what is hurting them the most.
Don't start clapping yet.Polls are not data, and the data shows a strong economy.
Try tossing in state/local income taxes as well as all the assortment of various taxes (sales/excise/property/school/etc) taxes that are imposed on you and try figuring it out again.Well, 30% in the US is close to 40%. At least it is not 50% or more.

Oh yeah, farmers are getting rich. Before long they are going to be at the top of the 1percenters (you know, those people everyone loves to hate?).One wonders what profits food producers are realizing of late.
Actually they don't. They must have export licenses from the federal gov to sell military arms to foreign gov.who build the armor and the killing weapons sell this stuff to anyone.
