How can a Mcdonalds worker in Denmark make $20 an hour, and yet their Big Mac is still cheaper than it is in the US?

Right wingers always use the BigMac as an example for keeping wages low.
If you raise the wage, everything will have to increase to compensate it, really it didn’t happen in Denmark, or Australia?
Why would it have to happen in the states?
Trickle down economics hasn’t worked for the lower income worker in a great many years, maybe it’s time to try rise up economics, start paying the low income earner a wage they can live off that doesn’t require Government help.
And see what that does for the economy, bet you will be amazed.,

Also this from Forbes magazine.
My Mac won’t open the second link, but the first one was interesting.
@Dutchess_III It’s cute how he talks about what that can actually buy, but then ignores expenses like healthcare and education costs that we have to pay and they don’t.
There is that to factor in.
@SQUEEKY2 Right, but when we’re comparing disposable incomes apples-to-apples, that’s a major factor.
Re: Dutchess_III’s link to the NationMaster chart: I’d have no problem if cigarettes cost even more in the US than they do in Denmark.
Lots of stuff costs more, actually. BUT as @gorillapaws, it’s offset by “free” healthcare and education.
Right wingers are very low brow people. They use extreme anomalies, in attempts to validate their thinly veiled bigotry, hate, greed, and intolerance.
The girl killed by the illegal immigrant story, is a prime example.
The right wingers, are a lost portion of society. They should just be ignored, at this point…
Maybe they are taxed more? The worker’s and the rich.
@snowberry . Take a walk. Breathe through your nose, and out through your mouth. The Sun will come up tomorrow.
A Fox news anchor really tried to bash Denmark, with nothing but lies and Denmark fired back, check for yourself it’s always in the top five of best nations on earth to live.
A lot of those lists the US didn’t make the top 10,and the ones I found it never was higher than 8.
Denmark has very high taxes YES, but guess what they actually get what they pay into,not just huge tax cuts to the wealthy, their taxes pay for their universal health care,university,and so on.
NOW PLEASE hear this,I am not bashing the states,what I am trying to say is maybe look at other nations,that really look after all their citizens ,and maybe learn something, universal health care is not communism,and it is not free either,but it can be accessible for all income groups,and one should never face financial ruin if one gets ill or hurt.
