Norway is awash in oil and has taxes and living costs as high as the other 3<br>
oil-less Scandinavian countries. It's a mentality thing, pushing the sheep<br>
to carry the other sheep while marching to the played tune or letting them<br>
be and have more freedom. Note that A LOT of North American innovators and<br>
movers and shakers have Scandinavian roots, and that the rich move out of<br>
there asap. Ask Torvalds some day why he moved to USA? I am sure you will<br>
like the answer.<br>
