Socialist Denmark: the promised land for millennial's

Denmark Tells Bernie Sanders It's Had Enough Of His 'Socialist' Slurs . . . "So because something makes sense to him, he has the right to force that system on people who don't want it? Isn't that what he's saying?
"But we digress. This is about Danes being offending by Sanders using the word "socialist" to describe their form of government. And who can blame them, especially when the free world has had enough of national socialists and Soviet socialists and North Korean socialists and Cuban socialists?" 
. . . "To that we'll add that Sweden, another of Sanders' inspirations, has for decades quietly moved away from its cradle-to-grave form of government welfare. And the Swedes are better off for having done so, just as the Danes will continue to be better off as their government overhauls its welfare state." . . .

Denmark: Not As Socialist (Nor As Successful) As You Think  "Bernie Sanders would like the United States to model itself after Denmark. Not the real Denmark, mind you, but a romanticized version of what its government does, and of how well it does it.
"As Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen himself put it, in reaction to this fictionalized vision of his country: "I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."
"Admittedly, it is a market economy with high taxes and an extensive welfare state. But it wasn't always so--and it might not stay that way for very much longer." . . .

Why Denmark isn’t the utopian fantasy Bernie Sanders describes  "Finally, Denmark's welfare state is more of a rickety derelict than a solid structure. Successive governments have had to repeatedly reform the system, scaling back its benefits. British journalist Michael Booth, who has lived in Scandinavia for over a decade and written a book about his experience there, says that the quality of the free education and health care Danes receive is far from great. Their PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) educational rankings are just average, they have the lowest life expectancy in the EU aside from former communist countries, and the highest rates of death from cancer in the world.
"Booth also says there is a broad consensus that the Danish welfare state remains unsustainable, despite the many reforms of recent decades. "The Danes' dirty secret is that its public sector has been propped up by--now dwindling--oil revenues."

Here’s 5 Facts For Your Liberal Friend Who Praises Denmark’s Socialist Utopia

. . . "Perhaps you’ve seen the meme below floating around social media? Today’s younger generations seem to eat it up and immediately demand we “be like Denmark” with free healthcare, free college, a $25 per hour wage, and a 35 hour work week. Then, we can join Denmark as one of the happiest countries in the world, but there’s just a few problems with that."

This is just the outline; each point is discussed in more detail at the link,

1. The Personal Income Tax Rate ranges from 55% to 65% in Denmark.
2. The Sales Tax is 25%. 
3. Things cost more in Denmark.
4. Although their wage is higher, Danes don’t have more disposable income.
5. Danes are “happy” because they are medicated, but their suicide rate shows they aren’t more happy than Americans at all. They may be saying a bit too much.
. . . "In Denmark, if you use pepper spray on an attacker to avoid being raped, you can be fined about $70. This recently happened to a teenage girl who thwarted her own rape. Her rapist got away and is a free man, meanwhile, she’s facing charges and fines for defending herself." . . .
A 17-year-old girl who was physically and sexually attacked in Sønderborg will herself face charges for using pepper spray to fend off her assailant.

Get this:  "Sexual assaults have been in the news in Sønderborg recently after several women in the town reported earlier this month that they sometimes feel harassed by the aggressive behaviour of some male asylum seekers and refugees at the local asylum centre. " (Emphasis mine, TD)
