Some good information there, but also some terrible misinformation.
"Rural Jutland" is not poor, nor does it have less access to public services. The "issue" with rural Jutland is that about 1/5 the danish population lives in Copenhagen, with another 2-3/5 living in Århus, Aalborg and Odense, and as jobs migrate to the major cities, the smaller villages have problems attracting people.
Of course, the social/public services should match the amount of people expected to use it, which is why it is often concentrated in the major cities.
Should you chose to live outside a major city (Sealand probably excluded), you can somewhat easily afford a car, as housing will cost you less than half of what "downtown" costs.
Also, as for taxes, i'm paying more than 50% income taxes, and i have no idea where the 15% + 15% rule comes from. IIRC the lowest income tax in denmark is 9% AM-bidrag as well as 26% income tax, landing you at 35%.
