I was on a recent cruise and spoke with a man from Denmark. He said they pay a 40 percent income tax which he admitted was a lot of money. But they receive GOOD free medical care. He had a knee replacement done and it did not require a long wait to be done nor did it cost him anything at all. He has 3 children who will receiving FREE college. He is receiving a very nice retirement pension that allows him to go on cruises and vacations. Workers get very generous paid vacation time.
The leaders you mentioned were dictators - sort of what Trump, Cruz, or Rubio want for themselves.

Big myth! You really should Google socialism in those countries and see how bad it really is. I did and it sucks. Taxes are so high, and EVERYONE pays them. Not like here where only the wealthy pay your taxes. Shoot, in our country, a family of four making $50k a year pays NO taxes. Everyone has to pay for socialism. It ain't free pie in the sky Obama Utopia. So, before parroting what someone else tells you, try Google and get some information on your socialism.
I lived overseas for about half my life and I know the difference between what we have and what THEY have. There is nothing over there that I want over here. Like the saying goes "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."
