The population of denmark is like 5 million people and the geographic size of the country is smaller than some states
>>
>>61347480
so in order for the US to be like Denmark, we need to cut it into 5 million person chunks and then it will work right?

There are reasons that the US and Denmark aren't necessarily comparable but please don't pretend that size is one.

Okay, in that case it must be because yankees and fat, lazy, stupid, selfish pieces of shit that spend every waking minute of their lives trying to come up with new ways to steal from the world while Danes are all hard working, community minded, intellectuals who are driven to make their country and the world a better place.

Less sunlight and vitamin D conversion causes depression. It's a chemical situation.

Danes can still be happy that they never go bankrupt paying medical bills, earn enough money to buy necessities, and can get a college degree with out a $60k student loan hanging over their heads for 2 decades.

In my city, Houston, whites are a minority, and has a population higher than Denmark. I think whites are around 48% here now. My state of Texas gets fucked so hard by all the niggers and Mexicans who don't work and get on government aid. I wish I had the stats but I don't have it on this pc. Our state doesn't want to pay for these people but the fed stomps on our balls and makes us take in these people and pay for them. Long story short, Houston would fail as a city if DC didn't give my state money to house and feed these people who don't work and won't work. Socialism, while would be the dream for America. Won't work because the people won't work. Simple as that.

To what extent?

I hope you realize that these things scale exponentially and not linearly.

The cost of providing "free" healthcare(of a high, Western standard of course, not South America-tier) for 300 million people is not simply "60x more" than for 5 million people.

Money in politics is way too powerful here. Shit like what workers get in Europe would never fly here sadly. On top of that most workers are pretty apathetic.

But the more people you have, the more people are paying taxes. If you need one hospital for 5,000 people of whom 2,500 work, you need two hospitals for 10,000 people of whom 5,000 work.

Texas is becoming like Germany. We had to take in i think 200,000 of """"refugees""""" from the state Louisiana next to us, since they get hit by a massive hurricane. The black people proceeded to stay in one of our sports stadiums and began to shit, piss and do other barbaric acts out in the open. The turf in the stadium was so saturated with piss and shit that if you stepped on the turf, waste would rise around your feet. The stadium was abandoned thereafter. They also got free housing and welfare, needless to say they never went back and our crime rate skyrocketed, our educational standings dropped. Also the illegal mexicans don't pay a cent in taxes, and we have millions of them. Somehow, they still get welfare based on "human rights??!?!?" I love my state but these people ruined it. Other Americans will tell you how it's not bad to have immigrants but it's really easy to say that when they are in white suburbia with a bernie poster on the wall and they aren't ruining your communities and causing gang violence on the daily.

>>61350526
Ohh so you mean the populations lifestyle keeps constanly improving? What a horrible fate
I actually know a danish guy, he's an aircraft engineer, pays half his wage in taxes yet this nigga still had money for a vacation "home"(like a fucking viniard ) in northern Italy
At the end of the month i,as a romanian pay 36% taxes on my wage for a fraction of the benefits, i sure as fuck would scale it up to 54% to get what the Danes do

Might be good idea to raise tax for welfare BUT unless your country has better economy and better wage, higher tax won't make you afford the welfare and trip to Italy that Danes get
>>61350885
Where would be the next Texas
>>
>>61350948
An aircraft engineer is hardly an average person. Aircraft engineers will be showered in money everywhere. And the reason Romanians don't see a return from their taxes is because you're a bunch of corrupt gypsies. Danes could create something better than you with 36% taxes, too.

They will. That Amerilard seems to forget that we have 10s of millions of illegal mexicans who don't pay, but get benefits. Millions of tax evaders and millions of welfare leeches. No sane person would want their money going to that shit so yes, they would leave.

It is impossible for Denmark level of socialism to work here when everyone takes and no one gives.

>Why doesn't America try socialism?
Because the US isn't ethnically homogeneous and mass immigration from Latin America and Southern Europe means the US no longer has the Protestant work ethic and Northern European intolerance for institutional corruption.

The Nordic countries aren't really socialistic either. Sweden has freer markets and less regulation than the US.
