Ask 'em what the taxes are used for over there..

What about, for example, more than enough education to understand basic things.
What about a two times more efficient health care system??
Plus that higher education??
Well, why not ask about the pension payments too.

Maybe somebody can explain why US has a negative marginal tax rate and only two parties??
(which US does not even want for Iraq)

Ask 'em what your marginal tax rate would be there.

It seems the taxes in Norway fall mainly on the drunks.
Alcohol tax was high. There was also a VAT. I asked for a snifter of Remy Martin cognac and for 185Kr they poured some into a glass, swirled it around, and poured it back into the bottle leaving me the glass to sniff.
