High taxes mean people are unable to save enough money to provide a foundation for children - to provide them with better life they had. Only motivator some countries give is child benefit, but that's only an incentive for people to whom it is a lot of money.
- a0-prw 6y agoNo way. Denmark has high taxes which finance free education, free healthcare and "child money" which every mother gets. Remove those benefits and it would be much harder economically to raise children to the same standard of care.

- a0-prw 6y agoWe don't generally work that hard in Denmark, tbh. I lived in the UK in the late 80s and it was much harder than DK, like fight-to-survive harder. And I've also lived in a country which was even more extreme. Seriously, a benevolent social security system makes sense
- intricatedetail 6y agoMaybe to you, but this is just life to safely meet death, with knowledge you children will have the same fate. Then you realise you'll become like a farm animal under such system.
- a0-prw 6y agoI absolutely don't live life to meet death safely. On the contrary, in the knowledge that my family will be well cared for (to a large extent), I am free to use my spare cash on stuff I think is fun.
