Zimmy, they can afford it. Everyone in Norway is rich, because of the oil. If I had an oil well in my backyard, i wouldn't care what the price of gas was.

Norway is the only western-lite socialism country that works. And it works there for 2 reasons. First, they have more oil than they know what to do with, and the take advantage of that.

Second, they don't allow any menaingful immigration, and the immigrants that are allowed to come in, must show they can take care of themselves.

So I love it when liberals say we should be more like Norway, because I tell them I agree, because that wouod mean drilling for oil and claimping down on immigration we can't afford. At that point, the liberal either changes the topic or calls me a racist...Either way, I know I've won...
