Elections in Denmark
Against the left-wing government.
On March 24. we have elections here in Denmark. It looks like the incumbent left-wing government is going to win. This is regrettable, as they have been a historically poor government.
First, Denmark has the worlds highest tax burden at 45,2% of GDP. There is agreement among economists that such high taxes will reduce incentives to work and invest, which leaves citizens worse off than they could have been in the longer run. And notably, this is not merely a matter of high taxes on the very rich. The taxes are high on all Danes. Ordinary Danes pay about 35-42% income tax and 42% capital gains tax. In 2025 if you earned more than $88,800 a year (not too far above the average salary in Denmark), you had to pay 56% top marginal income tax.
Furthermore the left-wing parties want to further increase taxes by 70 mia. kr, which amounts to a further 4.6% increase to the already highest tax burden in the world. This is very extreme, and there unfortunately seems to be little upper limit to the tax burden Danish voters are willing to tolerate.
One of the reasons for this very large tax burden is to pay for Muslim and African immigrants. Due to the high Danish welfare, Muslim and African immigrants are an enormous net fiscal cost.
The figure shows that, every time another Syrian immigrates, that is another 150,000 kr ($23,000) a year expense on average. That can easily be more than half a million dollars over a lifetime, per Syrian immigrant. And if they have children, their descendants are also a large net cost to Danish taxpayers.
Many people have the impression that the party in power, the Social Democrats, have a tough stance on immigration. But the fact is that the number of Muslim / African immigrants and descendants in Denmark continues to increase steadily.
Clearly, if the left-wing bloc wins and Mette Frederiksen remains Prime Minister, the number of Muslim immigrants and descendants will keep increasing.
Beyond the direct fiscal cost to taxpayers for the immigrants, there are also other very large costs to the Danish population. One that is particularly important and under-appreciated is the cost of housing. There are significant restrictions on housing construction, which means that mass immigration makes housing more scarce for everyone, driving up prices.
This study from Denmark on the impact on the housing market shows that immigration has caused 88% of the increase in housing costs since 1999!
This is a remarkable finding that receives far too little attention. Imagine if people could still buy and rent at close to 1999 prices. This would be completely life-changing for many people.
What will undoubtedly happen under the Social Democrats is that immigration will keep increasing, and so will house prices and rents.
Furthermore, the Muslim mass immigration does not only have fiscal costs. They also commit a lot of crime. As Muslim mass immigration continues to increase, that means that so will the number of crime victims.
Furthermore, the most costly immigrant groups are also the ones that tend to commit the most crime. For example:
So under the current government, we are paying enormous amounts of welfare for foreigners, facilitating them living here in our countries, and thereby causing a lot more rape.
It would be preferable not to do this, and vote for the right-wing bloc instead.
