A month or so ago a classmate of mine from High School (who started at Fisher Body when we graduated High School, but quit them so he could work in the local IGA) posted a item on Facebook trying to support raising the minimum wage. It told us about a young lady from Denmark that worked at a McDonald's and was making $21/hour AND a Big Mac in Denmark was only $.59 more than in the US.
I did some research on Danish taxes, information out there seems to indicate all Danes pay an 8% tax on their gross wages (no deductions or minimums a flat 8% before any deductions or other taxes) as well as local and national income taxes. In reality the McDonald's worker in Denmark will pay about 43% of her wages in taxes or her $21/ an hour is taxed down to $14.07/hour. The income tax has two brackets 5.83% or 15%, Municipal income taxes range from 23% to 28%.

I reply everyone pays income taxes in Denmark, that's fairer than our system.
Our government won't allow anything like this to be implemented in the US because if everyone had to pay taxes a lot fewer people would be willing to vote for more taxes.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
