U.S. Senator. Bernie Sanders: What Can We Learn From Denmark?

...Denmark is a small, homogenous nation of about 5.5 million people. The United States is a melting pot of more than 315 million people. Danes pay very high taxes, but in return enjoy a quality of life that many Americans would find hard to believe. As the ambassador mentioned, while it is difficult to become very rich in Denmark no one is allowed to be poor. The minimum wage in Denmark is about twice that of the United States and people who are totally out of the labor market or unable to care for themselves have a basic income guarantee of about $100 per day.
