Home from chuch now :-)
Its been said Capitalism does not work - that is ? true - The generel wealth is prob. bigger in a capitalist place(US style with no limits or VERY few) , but the large corperations also own the govement and the idea that wealth goes down thou the contry is a big lie as well, as is the "american Dream/lie).
Commonist goes not work ether, well unless there is an incoptoble man/female in charge. And even if you get someone like that, the odds for someone else with no morrals are huge(when the Current dictator dies).
Ofc there is Fasism back, and given that its very unpopular for clear reasons, it does still have some strong sides. Not that I am saying it the way to go thou.
But IF you mix Communist and Capitalism like its done in scandianvia you get a real strong economy and it will benefet all. Its a shame that most only ses 2 options. Since there are 4(might be more, I have just noot seen them jet).
This model builds apon strong unions that are only allowed to stricke once eavery 4th year. The govement have no interest in min. pay or alike as others has allready commeted.
This model will give all alot more wealth and generel be good too all, exept the ultra rich! but they do not neeeeeeed that much wealth in the first place ether.
The less you earn(IE no job, bad job pay) the less tax you pay - but with the same rights to get fixed becourse you get hurt/get children og just pure unlucky from fired and get appendicitis..
A few links that explains it alot better then I do with my non perfect english.

Ofc the big companyes and alike will tell its all lies and we are the soons of the devil becourse the will get taxed harder and will loose their ability to live like Kings & Barrons in the middel ages.
PS: And as Fungi says - its all about haveing the biggest winning circle.
And no denmark is not Perfect in any way - we have huge problems as well - but they are tiny alot of other contries, even thou we are smaler.
