We are not communists
But we do pay the highest taxes in the world. And there is broad public support for it...
In Denmark, we believe that true greatness and strength should be measured by the ability and willingness of the strong to help and empower the weak. In a society like ours, strength isn't about dominating, shouting the loudest, or taking as much as possible for oneself. It’s about the capacity to carry responsibility.
Those who are truly strong don't need to prove anything by trampling on others.
On the contrary: the strong show their character by lifting others up where they fall, and by making room for those who cannot yet stand on their own.
This is precisely what distinguishes raw power from real strength.
And this is perhaps one of the most quintessentially Danish ideas:
That by giving, we don't become lesser—we become greater!
That a society should not be measured by how well its most successful are doing, but by the level of safety and dignity afforded to its most vulnerable.
Because when we empower those who have the least, we ultimately strengthen the community—and in doing so, we strengthen us all
