OT - The Obama Phone

[Harald1966]

After experienced both countries I can say they both are great places to live.

As long as you do your homework when growing up, so you can get a decent job later, you can have a good life.

You're right Sean. Health care is not free. It is paid by taxes, but if you get sick is feels like free. It is the same when it comes to college. If you want to spend the extra money you can go to a privat clinic. You can choose.

Norway got natural resources like oil and gas, but the oil companies have to pay relatively high taxes. These taxes pays part of the health care, education and similar. The rest goes into the oil fund, owned by the citizens.

I read a funny story in the news last summer. One of the very wealthy said he would leave the country if the government didn't reduse the taxes. The next day one from the government said that she would pay his flight ticket if he promised to leave.

He didn't move.

Life is not black or white. Both contries have pros and cons. The democratic party and GOP too.

Yes the USA needs to learn some things from Norway (not socialism)...Norway has lots of natural resources, as does USA, but unlike the USA, Norway sells more of those resoucers to other contries than it uses.

Norway also does not try to "Police the world" like the USA does. And BTW- the USA Military uses more oil than our whole country that it is claiming to protect.

Anyway, you guys are getting distracted by small segments in time, the Clinton era, Bush era, Obama era. All of our problems have developed over a much broader time span as I said before, 30 years, 100 years. Step back and look at the "BIG PICTURE" or should I say the Guys behind the Curtain? Until we do, those who really control everything will have stolen everything our Grandfathers have worked for and we will not even own the land they fought and died for. Think about it , Seriously.

P.S. Sean, Bush was President during the morning of 911...sitting in an elementary classroom reading a book about a goat...

Yes we need to vote them all out, but before we do we need to know who to replace them with so we don't get "more of the same".
