Because Denmark is a democracy and the people on Greenland has voted towards independence. Denmark is not keeping them from seceding, but their economy has kept them from doing it before.

An independence referendum has not been done yet, but once they do it, Denmark will most likely accept the outcome without objections. Iceland did the same thing in 1918.

It’s not shown on the list of NATO members because it’s not a separate country. Other islands like Bornholm and Zealand are obviously also not shown, because they are Denmark. So is Greenland. They are not independent, though both Denmark and Greenland has worked towards that in many years.

Greenland was part of NATO since the beginning, and you could even argue that it was before that, because the collaboration between Denmark and USA on military control of Greenland predates NATO.

Greenland is part of NATO just the same way that all other Danish territories are.

Maybe Americans should consider not paying taxes in the first place.

Never mind the money. Think about this: Is the American lifestyle self-sustainable?

No? Why not?

Because they use more than they produce? Yes, and where do those things come from?

Imports? Yes.

Trump litteraly put a stop to the American lifestyle.

It’s Nicole, isn’t it?

It would be nice to know if he’s even alive.

VAT is (almost) the same idea as American sales tax.

The difference is only how it is managed in wholesale, how it is displayed to consumers in retail and obviously the rates. Otherwise it’s the exact same thing.

European stores show the price including the tax, whereas American stores show it without taxes. The VAT rates are generally higher in Europe than the sales tax in states, but this is not the explanation for the car prices.

Cars are more expensive in Europe due to other kinds of taxes. Germany is actually one of the cheaper countries for vehicles, because they don’t have vehicle registration taxes, but they do have an import toll of 10% on cars. The same price increases happens the other way too. A European car will be more expensive in USA than in Europe for the same reasons.

I wish more companies would take that kind of responsibility.
