Harry you never mentioned how much your Nordic buddy pays in taxes...

“Free college?” Who pays for that?


Most Norwegians pay about 30% of their gross income in taxes, and that
includes the separate tax of about 9% for health care. If you are
wealthy, you pay more. And you are assured a decent retirement and a
college education for your kids.
