Danish press speech: Rob the poor to pay the rich

May 09, 2006

The Danish press is generally speaking inhabited by a super populistic group of people from the left. Like good populists they know how to hit on peoples fears.

One of the most common pricks at peoples fears is one you see every time someone talks about tax cuts here in Denmark. Immediately you start seeing headlines about robbing the poor and paying the rich.

It is so blatantly wrong that people start not questioning it because it must be true.

Just look at the logic. Tax is something you take from people. If you take less are you giving it to them or are you just taking less. It really does bring my piss to a boil, but that’s life for a libertarian in a socialist country I guess.
