23%?  Ha, that's nothing!  We have 25% moms.  As our politicians
explained last time it was raised:  This is *such* an easy number to
calculate with.

And out income tax?  The world highest!  Our national pride!  We are
#1!  Unbeaten!  We are the world champions in taxation!  The best of
the best!  Ha, Swedes and Norwegians: Your crowns are worthless and
your taxation levels are puny.  "Der er et yndigt land/ det står bag
brede bøge/ |nær salten Østerstrand|/ det bugter sig i bakke, dal/ det
hedder gamle Danmark/ |og det er Frejas sal|/"

Oh, I think I got carried away for a moment.
