yeah thats why we have 1.6% unemployed or just enough to fill our national stadium, yes We pay 40-50% in taxes but our wages make up for that as they are much higher than in the US for example, so we get free healthcare, free education (we even get payed to go to school) and social security for free basicly.Minimum wage is approx 22$/hour

@JagzapperFinland is not part of Scandinavia. They are part of the Nordic, but not Scandinavia. Scandinavia is Norway, Denmark and Sweden, and nothing else.

The Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Business Environment Rankings, show that Denmark will comfortably retain its position as the world's best business environment over the next five years.Taxes on businesses are much lower in Denmark than in the USA.

Scandinavia = Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland.The Netherlands is not a part of it

It's much more complex then what you're just saying there. Generally a lot of people living in the US, see the danish tax system as something "communistic", but it's far away from that. In Denmark theres instead of the American flat tax system, several levels of taxes that you have to pay, depending on how much you earn. This is just an insurance to everyone in the danish welfare system.

I wonder why DEN is so Homo-population, maybe its because of your tax system???? No one wants to start a business or enter your country, because then, well, there goes half the business income into paying for your old people and "35-hour work weeks"

It's usually a Scandinavian country; Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands.If you're interested in finding about more about the happiness research, read either Deep Economy by Bill McKibben or The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner.

That is really good! I make $700 to $800 a month from a part-time job while going to college in America. But things in Denmark must be more expensive huh?
