During the first Democratic presidential primary debate, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton went back and forth about who loved Denmark the most. Turns out Sanders is a slightly bigger fan, but both have praised Scandinavia and its Democratic socialist governments as models for the United States to emulate. So what’s the reality of the left’s Danish utopia? Well, it’s a country with low corporate tax rates, but an insanely high taxes on the middle class. Oh yeah, and it’s swinging right and anti-migrant faster than you can say “rein in the excesses of capitalism.”
When CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Sanders how a self-described socialist could actually win the general election, Sanders turned to his go-to anti-capitalist talking points.
