Denmark’s economy leaves the US in the dust

Here are 9 reasons Denmark’s socialist economy leaves the US in the dust

An interesting article, I actually wish I lived in denmark after reading it. Really makes me wonder why people think america is the best place to live, even today. I think the USA is probably becoming one of the worst in the first world. Violence, Corruption, Bigotry, Greed(Worst of all), and just plain insanity.

I wish our country would realize just how bad thing's have gotten and use countries like this as an example. Instead we arrogantly assume we're still on top in most areas, and continue to let things get progressively worse. It's really sad.

One fact from the article:
Here in the US, the cost of going to college has soared by over 500 percent in the last 30 years. But in Denmark, not only is college free, but students are actually paid $900 USD per month to go to school, provided they live on their own. And this funding lasts up to six years. By contrast, the average US student pays over $31,000 a year in tuition to attend a private university

Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

From my experience, the US is not bad at all in terms of corruption - police don't expect bribes at traffic stops, or bigotry - racism is not even seen as negative in most of the world.

Greed and violence, I agree.
Telepaths - I like to kill them
