DENMARK IS NOT A FAIRYTALE WHERE NOBODY PAYS FOR ANYTHING. IT IS A COUNTRY THAT DECIDED SOME THINGS SHOULD BE PAID FOR COLLECTIVELY.
Health care, education, child care, infrastructure and income support all cost money. That means taxes are visible, high and regularly debated.
The honest sales pitch
You may still pay for housing, food, a dentist, a beer and a bad decision. The argument is not “life is free.” The argument is that a decent society is worth funding before catastrophe arrives.
