How does Denmark afford it??? |
not only does denmark provide 100% free uni education for all, they actually PAY students to go to uni, & students r allowed to go to uni for s long as they like. they also provide 100% free healthcare for all. Healthcare and education are not "free" anywhere. In Denmark, they pay for it all with very high income taxes, very high business taxes, 25% sales tax/VAT on just about everything you purchase--goods and services, tax on cars that essentially doubles their cost--it's like paying double for a new car, tax on petrol that makes it $8 USD per gallon, road tax on cars based on engine size and vehicle weight that takes about $600 per year on average (more for bigger/heavier cars), media tax at $450 USD per year if you listen to the radio or surf the internet in Denmark--let alone have a tv; tax on assets both in and out of Denmark, very high tax on tobacco, the list goes on.... Because every single working Dane pays about 60 percent of his/her income in taxes. Easy, we pay 49-53% tax on income, (but we can make about 6000$ tax free per year). and 25% tax on everything we by. Higher Taxes on EVERYTHING in Denmark - your food, your clothes, your car (180% tax on that). Nothing is free. We just pay higher taxes. I am a student and got a monthly stipend from the government, yet I pay taxes around 37% monthly, if you are working and earning more then you pay more. Also you pay 25% VAT in everything you buy / eat |
