I pay about 40% of my income in taxes. When I spend what is left, I also have to pay 25% VAT.
The reason that it is enough to cover the, not inexpensive, Danish welfare model, is that we don't have to spend much on military compared to USA.
The reason is of course, that as members of NATO we don't have to.
On a related note, I would like to thank the US taxpayers for their generosity
