Norway has a higher productivity rate that the United States. (131% of the US Level)
Norway has the fastest growth of average real compensation (wages plus benefits) in the world. US is 0.3% and Norway’s growth rate is 4.3%.
The US has the highest child poverty rate at 21.9% and Norway has the second lowest overall poverty rate at 6.4%.
There are many things about rightwingers that baffle me, but one of the main ones is their utter ignorance of the rest of the world. The US has the worst, most crippling poverty of any industrialized western nation. Why? The poor social net. That's just a fact. I hate debating things will people who don't even acknowledge basic reality.

What do you expect when self-righteous superiority and poor education represent right wingers?

You really don't understand PPP do you.
If you did then you would realize that Norway has a higher level of poverty than the US
If the 'poor' of Norway, Demark, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada don't own a house, a vehicle, get HUD subsidies, food stamps, have multiple HDTV, xbox, cell phones, internet connection, computers, free school food, head start at school, earned income credit on April 15th, medicaid, I'd choose the bennies of being poor in the U.S.
They have national healthcare, why would they need medicaid and college is paid for.
Go ahead and go you'll have lots of friends...
