Fat Harry is so mad at his president that he would defect to a comunist or socialist country if his lady love would foot the bill. My now-retired Norwegian buddy, who worked 20 years in the oil drilling and production business and as a union rep and who was retrained as a teacher at government expense after suffering a serious work-related injury, just sent me an email telling me his twin grandkids are starting their college careers soon at the Norwegian Institute of Science and Technology, tuition-free. Perhaps you don't know any more about those Nordic countries than you do about our govenment here. Here's a bit from Wiki: The Nordic model (also called Nordic capitalism or Nordic social democracy)refers to the economic and social policies common to the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Sweden). This includes a combination of free market capitalism with a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level with a high percentage of workers belonging to a labour union; and state provision of free education and free healthcare as well as generous, guaranteed pension payments for retirees funded by taxation. Although there are significant differences among the Nordic countries, they all share some common traits. These include support for a "universalist" welfare state aimed specifically at enhancing individual autonomy and promoting social mobility; a corporatist system involving a tripartite arrangement where representatives of labor and employers negotiate wages and labor market policy mediated by the government;and a commitment to widespread private ownership, free markets and free trade. The country has the fourth-highest per capita income in the world on the World Bank and IMF lists. On the CIA's GDP (PPP) per capita list (2015 estimate) which includes autonomous territories and regions, Norway ranks as number eleven. It has the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, with a value of USD 1 trillion. Norway has had the highest Human Development Index ranking in the world since 2009, a position also held previously between 2001 and 2006. It also has the highest inequality-adjusted ranking. Norway ranks first on the World Happiness Report,the OECD Better Life Index, the Index of Public Integrity, and the Democracy Index. Norway also has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. My buddy has a nice house, a good pension, and top of the line health care. 21st Century socialism works nicely. You should apply for asylum in Norway however take note that their standards for permanent residence have been tightened. Yeah, I know how it grates on you righties that other countries are doing a lot better than the dis-United States... The USA is not Norway nor is it like any other country on the planet. Ask your buddy how the older Norwegians still alive today how they felt about being occupied by Germany starting in 1940 and lasting throughout the rest of WWII. Ask them how they felt about receiving $400M in USA aid to help recover from the war. Then tell me about how awful the USA is. I suspect that if we didn't have a large ocean separating us from Europe, we, too, would have been at least partially occupied by Germany for some time. WWII has been over for more than 70 years. Most Norwegians who remember the German occupation are likely pushing up daisies or tulips, as are all the Southerners in this country who remember the Civil War. The point is, Norway and Norwegians are doing quite well and have less worries about their jobs, their health, the ability to educate their kids, and their retirements than Americans. So? Move. Perhaps a more realistic solution is to improve the quality of life for all people here with better jobs, better income security, better health care, and better retirement, and not worry so much about how well the really wealthy are doing. A more reasonable aproach would be to get rid of leeches like Fat Harry Krause. The socialist countries of Europe have very stringent immigration laws. I am afraid we are stuck with him. :-) What about Costa Rica? I heard him speaking favorably about those chica girls. He said he was thinking of moving there when Bush beat Gore. I guess promises just can't be met. |
