Even assuming that a socialist model can work, what about the elephant in the room that is ignored? Denmark has a homogenous population, without a huge...well, I might as well use the adjective...parasitic, uneducated, unskilled underclass without desire or hope of doing anything but consuming the fruits of others' labor. The U.S. does. I notice Mr. Rubin doesn't mention a desire to move to New Orleans.

My $34,000 Toyota Tundra in Denmark would cost about $130,000 due to taxes, according to my co-workers there.

Finally, there are the "generous" non-cash social benefits of the Danish welfare state to consider, primarily the health care system"

You can use all your free time waiting in line for an operation......

"Denmark is a country where few have too much, and even fewer have too little"
