1st - Norway supports labor unions; we don't
2nd - Their banks aren't casinos because of effective regulations. Our regs are riddled w/ loopholes
3rd - While their taxes are higher than ours, the bottom 95% of their citizenry saves money by not paying for the profit-motives on health-care, higher education, prisons, etc as we in the U.S. do.

In other words, our gov't provides 'socialist' benefits for the top 5% and 'capitalistic' competition for the bottom 95%. In Norway it's the other way around - as it should be.
