Just got back from a vacation in Norway and talked to a lady there who worked at McDonald (in Norway). She got paid minimum wage (about $20 / hr she said.. in the US a minimum is about $6-7/hr) but she paid about 25% in tax. She just had a baby she yes, the govt paid all the cost for health care and also she is studying in the university for free.
BUT EVERYBODY paid tax, crazy tax too. and when everybody pay into the system, according to their means (I think in Norway the riches pay about alomsy 45%?), it'll work. (not like the US)
This is one of the reason I cannot vote republican here where they want to tax the middle class and give the rich taxes break.
PS. Norway is super expensive.. 1 bottle of water costs about $4 (while it's about $1.50 in the US)
PS. No 2 - K. TFEX I'm glad I kept an eye for you, I hope you continue and when time comes, I hope you become a good person we can rely on in the govt.
