Let's talk about Denmark...
With Bernie Sanders advocating socialism in America, and Hillary Clinton saying she “loves Denmark,” how do the people who actually live under socialism feel about their life? Here's an example:
"I am a school teacher in Denmark making about $61,000/year. We get free education. You don't have to pay for the doctor or the hospital, and students even get paid to learn. It all sounds so great...right? However, I forgot to mention that nothing is ever free. The minimum income tax in Denmark is 40%. Also, me pay a sales tax of 25%, and on top of that the Government applies duties and fees. A gallon of gasoline is about $10. Tax on a car is 180%, meaning that a car that sells for about $25,000 in the United States (Honda Accord) to an astounding $45,000 in Denmark. Denmark is the highest-taxed Nation in the World--taxed an average 80% on every dollar earned. Danes have the highest personal debt in the World. Few will ever own a car or a house. Anyone who makes over $80,000 annually pays a personal tax of 68%. This means that people with higher earnings have either found ways to evade the tax or have left the Country, taking their companies with them. Denmark's suicide rate for the past five decades has averaged 20.8 per 100,000 people, with a highest rate of 32. The American suicide rate has averaged 11.1 during the last five decades and has never exceeded 12.7. More than 11% of adult Danes--supposedly the happiest people in the World--are on antidepressants. Everyone wants the American dream. In Denmark's neo-communism economy, no one will ever own or accomplish anything.

I saw that. If we continue in our direction, it could happen here.

The problem with those escaping Denmark to here-is that they bring the same thought process with them. No different than yankees ruining N. Carolina with the same brand of taxes and liberalism that they left NY for.

But! But! But!
Free college and healthcare! Isn't that worth a little sacrifice? If you don't think so you're just greedy.
