Danish Response [Revised]

In U.S., the economic/living systems are a mix of socialism and capitalism. The socialism, or the public places such as the public schools grade k-12, prison system, beaches, parks, and libraries. The capitalism, or the private market (things bought and sold), are such as the movies, food, homes, books, clothes, daycare, sports, equipments and things that need to be paid. The mix of both are education, health care, bank ownership and bombs. There are a lot of tax systems in United States; for example, social security tax and medical tax, federal income tax, sales tax = 8.25%. There is a flat tax where everybody pays the same % of tax no matter how much income (which the rich people would like but not for the poor people, because it will cost the poor people more money than the rich people); regressive is where poor people pay higher than rich people; and progressive is where rich people pay a higher tax than poor people.  There is also marginal tax where there are brackets of different % of tax needed to be pay depending on how high the income they have. However, with each bracket the person's income pass, the person have to pay the bracket they passed. Additionally, there are also the effective tax where when he person passed the bracket, they do not have to pay the full tax % but only tax on the addtional money that person made. Many of the things we buy, there are always tax being put on there but some of the things are free such as medicare for poor people. 

In the Danish system, the government charges around 60-65% tax but they have a lot of things that free such as free school, university, and medicare. Everybody has an account so if one person lose his/her job, the government would send money, around $1000 a month (maybe not because of the danish currency differences and it is not alot of Denmark). The government would support them for 4 years but during that time, it is recommended for he/she to find a job because the amount of money the government give is not enough for he/she to live. Danish schooling is different from U.S. because when they go to preschool or nursery, some of them have to be on the waiting list call the muncipality (not the actual spelling). Denmark is split into different region and the cihldren gets placed in those regions from the waiting list. Then, they take 10 years of basic schooling. Then after that they can take an extra year of schooling if needed to catch up if they did not from the 10 years or after the 10 years, they take three years of gymnation (not sure of the actual spelling), or 2 years (HF, or STX); a choice of 2 or 3 years. Or they can go to paid school where they get paid for doing job like craftsmen. After gymnation, they go to the university where it is paid from the government. The danish guests also says that after 18 years old, they get paid every month from the government, the money is proportionate to how much their parents made/work. 

I think America should start bringing itself to being more social democracy like the Danish people. However, I am not meaning to say that it should be like the Danish people but at least more. Many of the systems in Denmark show how the government cares for the people except the 65% tax on the income. In America, when the people lose their jobs, they become poor, so they moved into the poor class but in Denmark, the government gives them an account and money for them to live barely so they can have another chance to find a job. In America, we don't really have that and the poor people, or more to the homeless people, they cannot get services from the government because they do not have phones or internet, they lose their home. Additionally, America has a lot of immigrants but that does not mean they can speak English well, so they cannot get help from the government as well as the one who does speak English. America should start moving to where the poor people would get more helped and rich people being taxed more so the country is more balanced out with the money status and the economy.
