If you know of a legal way to move to Norway please share.

I would take my family there in a heartbeat.

Keep on defending the doings of our government, wall st., the federal reserve bank and corporations, if it makes you feel better.

They hire for offshore oil drilling jobs all the time. Yes, you have to work hard to enjoy socialism.

Why Not Move To Norway ????

Because of some of their stupid laws:

~ By law males must go off on expeditions of rape and plunder to nearby countries at least every 5 years.

~ If you challenge a man to a fist fight to the death, he must accept or pay a penalty of 4 deer.

~ If your vehicle stalls and you leave it on the side of the road, you must mark the vehicle with a red, reflecting triangle.

~ Licenses must be bought in order to own television sets, and even VCRs.

~ On long winter days, when the sun does not rise, women must make themselves available to satisfy their husbands sexual pleasures.

~ You may not spay your female dog or cat. However, male dogs can be neutered.

I don't know if it's true that Norwegians are lined up outside the U.S. Embassy trying to get out of their home country, but I do know that people who live and work in Scandinavia do indeed complain about the taxes there and do think about going elsewhere. Maybe not everyone, but I bet it's a large percentage.

Scandanavians are the happiests citizens on Earth.

A daily, real world example of how absurd right wing talking points are about how "terrible" high taxes and big governments are.

Tax rates:

I for one like to make decisions on my own rather than have the state make them for me and what I earn I'd like to keep instead of the nanny government taking it from me.

When you grow up in a nanny government state you are oblivious to any other life...

~ If your vehicle stalls and you leave it on the side of the road, you must mark the vehicle with a red, reflecting triangle. Common courtesy, no?

~ Licenses must be bought in order to own television sets, and even VCRs.Absolutely reasonable. Anyone dumb enough to go buy an actual VCR in 2011 should have their name put on a list, and not be allowed to fly.

~ On long winter days, when the sun does not rise, women must make themselves available to satisfy their husbands sexual pleasures.I won't respond to this one....If my first comment about Salma Hayek didn't offend enough people, I should probably just quit while I'm ahead

~ You may not spay your female dog or cat. However, male dogs can be neutered.Sounds like I'd get to be neighbors with Bob Barker, sign me up!
