Denmark is a bitch 50 plus percent personal tax rising if you earn above a set amount.
I'm not going to defend the Danish taxes - and the present government want to lower them if they can - but.... you failed to mention that basically everything is included in those taxes: Free universities, free medi-care, free hospitals, etc, etc. There's no poverty here like you'll meet it in USA or elsewhere.

It turns out that this socialdemocratic society cannot be sustained in a modern world. Immigrants from third world countries flock to come to Scandinavia. They can get it all for free here - and that'll break the back of the socialdemocratic camel.

So - the way to go is to bring down taxes and let people pay for themselves.
