They have 5 million total people and your article demonizes the United States because "oil wealth" didn't go to the government it went to private citizens.

Thanks for the socialism example but this is anti American propaganda.

95% white small homogenous population with North Sea gas and oil......

I love when liberals try to hold up an example of socialism it's always a 95% white small Nordic country with oil and gas wealth, why not Venezuela? They have the worlds largest oil reserves and don't even have toilet paper.

They are also tough as hell on immigration. This is a pretty horrible attempt at a gotcha against America.

So you are comparing an over 90 percent majority white country with just over 5 million people who are insignificant in virtually every category on the world stage to the USA?

Norway is a tough example to use. It's nearly impossible to gain citizenship there. You don't really hear about traveling to Norway to "find the Norwegian dream".

I don't see what race has to do with anything.

Attempt to compile a list of majority black countries that are a success and you will.

Also, have you even tried to think of the astronomical number it would cost to "give" every citizen in America $200,000?

$66,000,000,000,000

You think that's feasible in just oil money?

Oh wow... Norway has 188k for each of its citizens. Can they just write a check on that? Or does the government of Norway really have that money?

The Vatican is worth 10-15 billion; at about a thousand residents they have 10-15 million each. How many progs are going to be willing to follow an authoritarian cleric? Since it’s all about bank accounts.

I wonder why the US CIA didn't overthrow the Norwegian government for having a quasi-nationalized oil production system?

If they had started back in the 60's when Norway did then they would have a leg up on it.

Also, Norway isn't "giving" the money to its citizens....it is holding it for them.

quote:

Norway's integration minister has called for tighter immigration policies – to avoid the country becoming like Sweden. Sylvi Listhaug used Sweden as the cautionary tale when speaking about recent terror attacks in Europe, as well as a package of asylum reforms due before the Norwegian parliament shortly. “Many of those who have carried out terror attacks in Europe are born and raised in France and Belgium. It shows how important it is to succeed with integration and that is again connected to how many come to Norway. Therefore a tight immigration policy is important,” she said.

And from where did Norway get that money? Such a benevolent government to take your money and then gives it back to years later.

Africa is asking 200k for each of its citizens - from anyone stupid enough to give it to them.

Then you aren't worth having this conversation with if you can't be honest about reality.

Norway's oil production per capita would equal the US producing approximately 100 million barrel of oil per day...so yeah, great comparison.
