Sigh....8 weeks paid vacation. We only get 4 plus 11 public holidays per annum, mostly free health care ($5 for 3 months prescription) Progressive tax rate starting at 14.5% and topping out at 39%

Move there.

We haven't had "unfettered capitalism" since the 1800s

I think we must be lower than 14 for being happy

We are getting the wrong end.

USA is a colony

Yes but ... but ... but our freedom !

Not here to make excuses, US can definitely fix some things, but Norway has a population of like 6 million? USA has 335 million? Lot of difference there and probably much harder to do. Worth mentioning atleast

Norway pays for all that through oil money

Thank you for sharing!
