Nordic countries aren't socialists. They practice free markets but pay higher taxes for government entitlements. Right now they are paying higher taxes and they are moving politically right because it turns out people don't want to pay high taxes. It isn't sustainable in the long run and people want to keep what they earn. Not to mention we pay for their defense which I wish we weren't since Nordic countries don't really contribute anything back imo.

Bold: As a Dane, that's hilarious to read. I can assure you, things are pretty good in Denmark to say the least.

Yes, we pay high taxes in order to have a more equal society. Still, you can easily be succesfull and make a lot of money.

Things are pretty good in the United States under Republican control as well. I can imagine things are pretty good in Denmark considering we pay for your security because God knows why.

Fair != Justice. Taking money from others and leaching off of productive people isn't right or moral.
