[DeTomaso] NPC: Love your country

[Tom Shinrock]

 I had a physical therapist that was from Denmark years ago.  If I recall correctly he said the income tax rate was close to 50% to pay for all the "free" benefits of education and healthcare.  He said the "quality" of hospital procedures were not as good as are available in the US but were "adequate".

   Oh Mikael,
   You just think about cars...
   What about the education of your kids? For the costs of highscool and
   college for two kids in the US, you can buy three or more Mustangs in
   your country.
   Not counted the costs of health insurance and welfare. This will bring
   you another few beloved US cars.
   Just my 2 cents.

   Well, at least appreciate that you don't live in my country...


   Article in the newspaper, car section. Ford will bring the new Mustang
   here, sell it fully supported from Ford dealers etc. Good news. And
   then the article says that fortunately for local buyers Ford intends to
   price it low and sell many instead pricing it high and only sell a few.
   Even better news. And then they mention a price example: The smallest
   V8 with the Performance Package, the minimum any enthusiast would buy,
   price: $110-120k.


   Yes, here in Denmark a car has to include Customs (7-10%) and VAT (25%)
   obviously, and then up to 180% registration tax on top. Yes, we end up
   at up to 3x the normal price. My daily driver I bought used 1 1/2 years
   ago, a 2006 Cadillac STS V6, that cost $150k when new.


   And yes, my family and I have tried to move to the US, but apparently
   US Immigration prefers illegal immigrants on welfare, instead of people
   like us with proper jobs. Go figure...


   Mvh/Regards

   Mikael

   (The 180% does not apply to cars more than 35 years old, or I would not
   be able to buy my Pantera, Longchamp and Camaro)
