Denmark is NOT a wonderful place to live. It is a stable society where everyone is equally poor except the tax dodgers. Furthermore, the climate is more bleak than Seattle. This article makes Denmark seem like THE place to be. It clearly is not. Just look at where the economic migrants are flocking to. That would be Germany. Furthermore, this article is a blatant propaganda piece. "More government is good for you" is the overriding mantra here. There is no discussion of the downsides of increasing taxation on the population at all. Instead, it is a pure puff piece which is engineered to make Canada seem great because of taxation. The reality is that the Canadians are functionally isolated from the United States. They decide their own policies. They decide their own cultural norms and laws. If anything, it is the decoupling of that region from the rest of the legislative United States that fosters such a wonderful culture localized to north of the US border. It's not taxation that makes Canada great, but jurisdiction and their right to self-determination.
