Ikke alle amerikanere køber Oprah Winfreys rosenrøde billede af Danmark som verdens bedste Lykkeland:

Oprah should have done her research a bit more thoroughly before becoming too attached to the smørrebrød and rødgrød.

According to statistics easily found on a variety of websites, including Nationmaster and the CIA World Factbook, Denmark is perhaps not all its cracked up to be.

Oprah made a big deal about the level of economic equality in Denmark, due of course to 53% income taxes. However, Denmark has the sixth-highest level of population below the median income per capita, while the U.S. is actually more equal, farther down the list at #28.
