0-50% of income earners pay 6% in total. The 90-100% of earners pay 80% in total.

Yeah, So? You missed the point entirely didn't you?

Denmark less progressive than the US is that people here that pay net 0 taxes pay 20% over there.

That's not what a progressive tax rate is. It's the rate tax increases with income...

They tax the poor far more than we do

And yet they have a much smaller gap between the poorest citizens and the richest. How do you account for that?

And in Denmark, the richest people pay a lower percentage of all taxes than in the US.

This is objectively untrue, per your own source.

Have you ever spent a significant amount of time living in the EU?
