Another problem with Denmark (AND most of the other socialist european nations)..... Danes have a critically low birth rate - SO low that the danish gov't is on a push to try and increase it. Their official retirement age to collect a retirement pension is 65, BUT, like most european countries, because they have a shrinking birthrate, and because all medical care is essentially free, they have an increasingly larger retired population, supported by the work of an increasingly smaller working population. So....what do they do to have enough workers to support their system? Like most european socialist countries, they import workers, primarily from Muslim nations, most (not all) of whom do not understand, agree with, or accept Denmark's social standards. And with that comes jihad, which they are now having troubles with, in addition to Muslim street gangs and neighborhoods where ethnic Danes are no longer safe to enter. I'm not saying this as a slap to Islam, but rather to point out the simple fact that the mass importation of religiously and ethnically different people with all the negatively attendant issues is the
direct result of Denmark's socialist structure. When the US goes socialist (I believe it
will unless the American voters pull their heads out of their nether regions), THAT will be our destiny — we'll have a growing pool of retirees who get everything for free, and a shrinking pool of workers to support it, as more and more of them are on the dole, and
particularly those of european descent become a smaller minority as their birth rate stays below the rate necessary to keep the population stable (
http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-birthra ... 1434513662). That is being made up by an increasing number of immigrants - not all of whom appreciate American capitalism - with higher birth rates, as well as higher birth rates in minority communities. I don't care about the racial/ethnic makeup of this country. I am myself a product of more than one race. But I DO care about individual liberty, and the unsustainability of the socialist economic model.
