There's Something To The State Of Denmark

We're from the government and we're here to help.
In the most countries, such a statement elicits gales of laughter. Even in my home state of Minnesota, a state with a well-deserved liberal reputation, the belief that government is a problem, not a source of solutions, has become a common one. Thanks to thoughtful and purposeful government, Danish society has become a model of cooperation and mutual respect, and all of its citizens benefit.
