Most of Europe has similar taxation. They get a lot for their money though. Public transport and health. I would live in Denmark in a heartbeat, have visited so many times as a digital nomad.
But I'd have to go work for a tech company there or convince them that whatever startup I want to have a go at next is enough to be accepted by the startup visa (complicated).
If anyone from Denmark or Sweden (which I love as well) reads this and wants someone with 20+ YOE in tech (programming, startups) do get in contact, my details are on my profile.
Note: I've left it too late to edit the above, but I probably shouldn't have suggested contacting me. I would LOVE to live in Denmark or Sweden, but it probably wouldn't be possible this year (due to commitments I've made to customers).
