But Norway...
Heh,heh....some time ago when I was still working I asked one of my co-workers who was nearing retirement which country he'd love to live in if he could choose. The guy, who had traveled extensively, said Norway. I asked him why. He said because the gov. does so much for the average citizen. (By the way this guy was a hard liberal).
I then asked him if that's where he was going to retire. He replied no.
I asked him why not if the gov. did so many things for its citizens.
He said because it was so expensive to live there.
I scratched my head a little puzzled and then asked him why he thought it was so great if it was so expensive to live there. A little exasperated he said because the gov. does so much for the average citizen.
I then replied but that you said it was a great place to live. Why don't you want to move to that great country where the gov. does so much for the people.
He then stomped away irritated with my impertinent questions about the "wonders" of Norway where the gov. does so much for the average citizen, but it's too expensive to move there.
