I am a Danish schoolteacher, making about $61,000 a year. We get free education, you don't have to pay for going to the doctor, the hospital, and also keep paying our students for getting the education they want. We can afford to have our own house, a car, we all get 6 weeks' vacation a year, and women get 1-year maternity leave when she has a baby, every time... fathers get maternity leave too, just not that long. Everybody gets a pension from the age of 65. I have lived in the USA, but I prefer the Danish way of taking care of everyone. Some may say we pay high taxes, maybe, but we get so much more than you get in the USA. You pay an average of $8,500 per year in deductibles and many fees for healthcare. Your high education is over $21,000 a year. We pay our students to learn. You have no job security, vacations, or any other benefits that we do. Everyone in the world wants the American dream. Every Dane has that opportunity!
