A couple of years ago I was in Bergen, Norway and took a tour bus one afternoon to get some local insight and see what to see.
Anyway, the tour guide proudly pointed out that in Norway 60% of the people worked for private enterprise and 40% worked for the Government**. Now that is goodness she exuded from her pores after telling us yanks that(and our wicked AngloSaxon capitalism).
[Me, I'm thinking so 60% of the blokes pay the wages of the other 40% (through taxes and government fees of course)]***
**no idea how the $ dollars from the 19 North Sea oil wells that Norway operates gets funneled through the coffers. I don't think oil pays for all the Govt. budget
***Now if I was in Sweden, I would have pointed out that per capita, the poorest state in in the USA Alabama or Mississippi has more disposable income than Sweden.
