Very few people actually pay the top rate, most who are on the top rate actually pay around abouts 45%. It's one of the reasons they're getting rid of TopSkat: it costs an awful lot more to administer for the take from the few who do actually pay it.

They are not getting rid of it. Too many people (40% of employed) pay the top rate on some of their income.
they might increase the SP from 1% to more though. Or the AM-bidrag from 8%. But they are not taxes of course
They are not happy untill the get 100% and they pay you in bread.

no, Threaded says: I love paying my 63% taxes in Denmark, because that means the SnotGoblin does not get them.

by the way: is it a coincidence that you have GB to rule GB? hmmmm - I think not - hmmmmm - the conspiracy is thickening - or sickening.

Oh well, nearly there. Not bad seeing as I've never even looked at a Danish dictionary, but that shows that a reasonable knowledge of Danish must be within the grasp of someone who speaks Dutch.

I pay less tax in Denmark because the snot goblin isn't there.

how's that?

Jeg elsker at betale min skat i Danmark, fordi Snot Goblinen ikke får det.

Jeg kan også lide ordet 'får'.

Den komplette version er saaledes:

Far, faar faar faar?
Nej, faar faar ikke faar, faar faar lam.

To cut down on the number of ruined Xmas' in Denmark this year the local plod have gone out and picked up as many burglars as possible and thrown them in gaol as a preventative measure.

What does the congregation think of that as a crime fighting idea?

they could extend the idea to just lock the borders and consider all of Denamrk a prison.

If you are in Denmark you should feel guilty about not paying enough in taxes anyway - so you should be in prison anyway - so just do a giant conversion of the whole country into a prison.

sorted.

Reminds me; must trim hedge. Strange, but with this mild winter the box is still growing.

Spooky! The wife said exactly the same thing last night!

She's just being kind.

Mild Winter (I assume you are not referring the the official start of winter, 2 days ago). I thought temperatures this year had been well below average, since October (and through summer too)?

Here in NL. It's only frozen once up to now.

No. We'll be needing them again soon. Liberals on the other hand can be removed form society without there being a problem.

How about hedge fund managers?
