Danish Tax Policy 2010

Danish Tax-policy, explained by Lars Løkke.
with an English translation

English MPs have a lot to learn from the old Vikings.
Or perhaps the Vikings never left?
The compatibility between English and Danish parliamentary processes and similar ways of explaining complex matters are extraordinary. These 10 seconds from a specialist in clear communication, Lars Loekke, flows like a poem:

1. DANISH

Så har man altså valgt at lave et system,
hvor man skal aflevere lidt mindre
end man gjorde før.
Det er så det vi har valgt,
og det fører så selvfølgelig til, at – øhh –
dem, der tjener mere og afleverer meget
og nu afleverer lidt mindre,
ja, de afleverer så meget mindre,
end dem, der tjener lidt mindre
og afleverer mindre,
men altså så afleverer mindre - - mindre.

2. ENGLISH

So we have chosen to set up a system
where one will pay a little less
than we did before.
This is what we have chosen
and of course it leads to – uhmm –
those, who earn more and pay more
and now pay a little less,
yes, they will now pay a lot less
than those, who earn a little less
and pay less
but also pay less - - less.

Fantastic!!!!
