So after reading this article, how would you guys react?
I've read through a load of the comments made on this article and to me it shows a certain tendency. I will say more about this after some comments here, with my take on this article. |
The author was right, though he failed to add the sources for the information so it looks to some people as a Norway rant! Though he meant it to be pointing out the hypocrisy of the Norwegian politicians forked tongues.
Cleverly though this article was meant for UK readers, the Norwegian politicians realised this would look like it was a direct attack on Norwegians so had it published in VG.NO so Norwegians reading it are the majority of commentators on the article doing what the government wants, defending it!
Norway is far from the sterile innocent country that most people outside Norway think it is, far to many Norwegians are also deluded with this same idea. Sweden use to be the same in many respects 20 years ago but was awoken by the mass immigration from the third world at TAX payers expense, but now its too late as the immigrants are now propping up the controlling socialist doctrines!Real Swedes don't have a chance now the bankers have won. Which saw their taxes sky rocket,freedoms eroding and there is NO pension fund left; and those retiring in 20 years wont be able to, and will have to either work or starve!
20 years ago Norwegians near the Swedish border would do their shopping in Sweden being cheaper.Now its the other way around and for all the wrong reasons! What's coming for Norway?
Without the Lotto win of Norwegian oil which props up the very near commie government.
Maybe Norway would be a better freer low tax nation by now without trying to be this on the surface social phony utopia, and spreading it to the rest of the world fooling them socialism/Communism is the answer to a perfect life if not for the oil?But then the other socialist doctrine would have taken over the EU!
With the hidden mad social services, child abuse, heavy drug use princesses included , alcoholism abuse, and one of if not the highest suicide rate in the world! Yeah Norway is a paradise. They don't print that on the fresh clean pictures on the travel brochures of the Fjords!
Though there are real Norwegians waking up now and realising that destroying personal freedoms and TAXING to death anybody who wants to do better than their neighbour is not the answer and that they have been fooled. Governments can never be trusted with personal wealth.
