Socialism: state owned breweries providing a choice between two or three brands and a couple of variations -- when they are in stock.

Having...

- very high taxes,
- North Sea Oil wealth,
- homogeneous population
- and other countries pay for your defense umbrella...

makes it easy to provide more services. And Oslo is one of the most expensive cities in the world.


Why yes, there do need to be taxes in order to pay for services. But here's what you get for your taxes: services.

Tell me more about Sweden's North Sea oil industry, please. Finland's too, while you're at it.

Why does it bother you?


Who cares OP? I live in Silver Spring and my neighbors bare Trumpers. Socialists sound a lot nicer. Believe what you want to believe. Volunteer for Biden or something and make new friends if it bothers you so much.
