McD’s Workers In Denmark Are Paid $22 An Hour

It is utterly embarrassing that “pay people enough to live” is a stance that’s even up for debate.

Override the parliamentarian and raise the wage. McD’s workers in Denmark are paid $22/hr + 6 wks paid vacation. $15/hr is a deep compromise - a big one, considering the phase in.

Yeah but there's a great big BUT to that..

ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE- The average citizen in Denmark pays 45 percent of their income in taxes, and it’s not hard to see why. Denmark has a value added tax (VAT) of 25% of all purchases (acting like a massive sales tax), and that’s after income and local taxes are paid.

Like Paul Harvey used to say, "Now you know the rest of the story".
