Let's take a look at the real numbers for Denmark then.
Assume the claim is true, McD's employees (over 1
make over $20 per hour. An exchange rate of 6 kronor per usd that puts them at 120 kronor per hr. They have a standard 33 hr work week so that's 3960 kronor per week @50 weeks per year thats 198 kronor a year.
That's about $33k a year compared to the US McD's employee earning about 15098 a year.
Take home pay after taxes?
$15098 per year in the US.........
-pays 0 federal income tax
-$936 SS tax
-$219 medicare
take home total 13,943
198k kronor per year in Denmark...............
-15840 kronor Gross Labour Market Contribution
-9095 kronor Post deduction at bottom bracket tax rate
-40092 Municipal income and Church tax
-1080 kronor SS(ATP in Denmark)
take home total 131893 kronor, about $21,982 US
It looks great on paper if you stop here and thats what all you libtards do to push your agenda, stop right the fuck here and leave it out just like Australia, which fails before here because OZ pays teenagers far below minimum wage and Denmark still pays $15 hour min if you're under 18.
Fact is the $21,982 US buys a lot less in Denmark than it does here in the States because the cost of living is way higher
just like Australia.........
-Basic Utilities are 49% higher than US, clothing is 75%-100% more
-Shoes are 77% more than the USA
-Cars are 250% more expensive
-Milk is 22% more
-major indices...consumer prices are 38.08% higher and rent is 26% higher than the states
-resturaunt prices are acutally 85% higher in Denmark than the US(I know you thought McD's was a resturaunt lol)
-Groceries are 13% higher than the US
So lets have a real conversation about it. How many McMeals can a McD's worker afford to buy in each country Denmark vs ohh-ess-ahhh?
Denmark $21982 net income at $10.91 per McCombo is 2015 meals.
USA $13943 net income at $6 per McCombo is 2324 meals.
USA wins by 15%
And our fucking BicMac is still cheaper, usually 2 for 5 for indie sammiches.
And the kronor is like 1/10 exchange with the usd right now so its way worse than this example from 2015.
Boy.
