Exactly. And the irony with the scandalously high car taxes is that many Danish roads are most likely some of the worst in western Europe.

So much money is being spent on a social welfare system which is close to fucked up, that it is ridiculous. I don't mind paying my taxes if I know the money is being spent well, but very little of it is

The one thing I really like about America is the individual responsibility which I think the Danish society does not encourage at all. In fact there are many obstacles when you want to start and run your own business. Also the social welfare system does not encourage people to take care of themselves as it works now.
