 		 #136303 - this sounds like the Denmark I left ages ago
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I live in Europe, in a tiny little country called Belgium. Every month I see little more than half my paycheck disappear into taxes and social security. I often rant about high taxes and "me paying for the one in every 10 people because he is unemployed".

However, knowing our social security system here I wouldn't want to trade for any other less "secure" system. I get decent health insurance, decent payment when unemployed and a rather stable society

Except for the "little more than half" (which was 'much more') this sounds like the Denmark I left ages ago.

once more I quote without knowing where and who:
"Denmark has so much taxes that you can't live and so much social security that you can't die"
