denmark is a mixed economy like america. they certainly have better social programs than america. no idea about their tax system, an solution would be for an american worker to report on their pay at mcdonalds and then work at mcdonalds in denmark and report on their pay. i guarantee you denmark who has higher union rate than america has you beat.
i do have a video on my anti capitalism thread about an american from LA who moved to a nordic country doing the same job. i think he said take home was the same but they have way better public transit, no homeless, cleaner streets, etc.
