Fat Harry is so mad at his president that he would defect to a

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.Â*Â* 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?Â* 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.



You are so typical of the progressive liberal mindset.Â* You're envious
of what others have and automatically adopt a sense of entitlement
that you should have the same, but paid for by someone else of course.

You don't seem to realize that you too can have almost anything you
want as a US citizen.Â* You just have to work at it and earn it.



Envious of what others have? Really? That's absurd. As an example,
there's no one in rec.boats who has anything that interests me even
slightly. I am envious of a friend in Branford, Connecticut, who bought
a beachfront lot on which the old house that was there had burned to the
ground. He had an A-Frame cottage built on the site.



You just contradicted yourself.

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.

Must be. "Hail to the Chief" is played wherever he speaks.

Just paying respect to *his* president.




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

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.

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.


Many chica ticas are very pretty, but you'd strike out...they like guys
who are fluent in Spanish or English.


Greenbacks, the universal language of love.

You are so typical of the progressive liberal mindset. You're envious
of what others have and automatically adopt a sense of entitlement that
you should have the same, but paid for by someone else of course.

You don't seem to realize that you too can have almost anything you want
as a US citizen. You just have to work at it and earn it.



Envious of what others have? Really? That's absurd. As an example,
there's no one in rec.boats who has anything that interests me even
slightly. I am envious of a friend in Branford, Connecticut, who bought
a beachfront lot on which the old house that was there had burned to the
ground. He had an A-Frame cottage built on the site.


You need to set your sights a little higher.


You think I should be envious of your semi-literacy?


Keep guessing, moron.

You just contradicted yourself.


Well, I get to stay here...I wouldn't want to live there in my old age,
though. Too cold.


Let me guess. You have outstanding tax leins and other unsatisfied
obligations "there".
