1. Capitalism pushes the myth that people are lazy and have to be forced to work.

[EEO]

8. To what end?

11. They don't even offer the "more money" part anymore....

They dropped the carrot and are all stick threatening you with poverty if you don't work.

2. Kicked and recommended! The General Welfare is top priority in Denmark.

Here in the United States promoting ignorance and misinformation and providing for the already overly wealthy are the top priorities.

4. Love how they treat everyone equal

Not the case here. I find it ridiculous that because someone may have more green paper with pictures of dead presidents that somehow that makes them superior.

12. I know someone on disability who likes to PRETEND she's a millionaire....

You go to her home and it's like that show "Keeping Up Appearances". Mix that with OCD and you have a situation where she is CONVINCED of her own superiority. Keep in mind that she's on SS Disability making around 12k a year. She hits the food banks every week and so being invited to diner is a crap shoot. Stale and moldy bread and whithered fruit and potatoes that look back at you.
