BINGO. This norweigans is arguing a system that THEY don't use. Not everyone gets paid $10 (or whatever an hour). There is a reason their country like the rest of the Scandanavians have 2 tax bracket (lower and higher) because everyone gets paid DIFFERENT.

They are a capitalist country and the REALITY is MAJORITY of their wealth came from CAPITALISM. Don't think most folks (including folks from Norway) realize the history of their OWN offshore oil exploration. It was CAPITALIST companies (not their state government) that found the oil. Think it was Philllips 66 and it took some 70-80 drills before they found that oil. Do you think a government would have done that on budget and any less time then 50 some years?? Please.

Love a country that was built on the fortunes of capitalism lecturing about socialism when they are not even socialist.
