Each year, every individual's income and tax information is released to the public here in Norway. It's an awful system. The newspapers fill up with detailed information on celebrities' personal financial information, everyone goes online to pry into the incomes of coworkers, bosses and neighbors. Kids of low income parents are bullied, and criminals do research into whose homes will be a profitable burglary job.

Income tax as low as 29%? Naah, add a 25% VAT to that, and you're up to over 50%. Then, add all other taxes that the governments of our wonderful Scandinavian natoions have put in plance, and then consider excactly how easy it is for a person who does not make a lot of money to get by without begging inhuman bureaucrats for handouts. Scandinavia is designed so that everyone is on welfare all the time.

Actually, the Norwegian word for Saturday, "lørdag", comes from the ancient nordic word "laugardag", which translates to "washing day".

Hey there, I'm Marius. I'm a 30 years old Norwegian dude who works at a warehouse and lives in Oslo with my fiancee, our pug and our cat. Keep the neatness rolling, my Neatorama addiction monster needs its food! :D
