- dagss 10y agoThat is not what the article says -- it is criticizing Denmark for being as bad as or almost as bad as the US (i.e. NOT worse). This about sums it up: "Social mobility in Denmark and the U.S. seem to be remarkably similar when looking exclusively at wages—that is, before including taxes and transfers."
- ThomPete 10y agoAnd I am telling you Denmark have poor people too. I.e. redistribution isn't helping against that. I linked to the article to point to the fact that poor people also have a hard time getting out of their poornes in Denmark and it's actually worse because the high "minimum salaries" makes it almost impossible for them to get a job.
- dagss 10y agoYou say "and it's actually worse because the high "minimum salaries" makes it almost impossible for them to get a job." --- is that from another source or this article?
