Guys, how can you know so little about the world! The world is great and it does not end at the American border. There is plenty to learn out there. Best regards from The Netherlands.
To clarify, it is the United States you are referring to, not the entire American continent.
Americans dosent learn that everything beyond us border is a war zone and living in the stone age
"Guys, how can you know so little about the world!"
Guys, how can you know so little about the world?*
Answer: They are American's, they know very little about the world outside their own country.
@@OriginalPuro America doesn't give a shit about other countries. America is like the popular kid in high school that everyone else wants to be, but they're too small or insignificant.
OMG ! im danish, but you guys have no clue of life in the developed world
Those of us who do don't spend as much time online as the morons. We have a life to live. There are many things I love about my country but many things we can learn from others. We are on a treadmill over here. It's time to go to a culture that is more family friendly.
Don't bother. They won't listen aynway. This video is just further proof of the US not understanding how the civilised world works.
This is cringeworthy to watch. Figure something out before you go on air. Start with figuring out the difference between communism, socialism and Social democrazies.
du har så rett Sven!
They are just bitter
Nicer version of China??? nah just a way nicer version of America. wtf was that?
Facts...
The guy is basically an idiot pretending to know stuff.
Desperate to pin the whole “socialism is bad” on countries that have socialist tendencies. That’s why he kept begging to find taxes over 50% to scare people at home into thinking losing half your paycheck is horrible but completely forget about all the benefits you get from jf
I can think of a reason it works but no one sais
I'd take the US any day, before Norway. What a bunch of ignoramuses.
"USA is still the greatest country in the World " lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah. It has never been the greatest country in the world 😅😅
Meanwhile, they’ve never been abroad to compare
The USA is a joke coming from an American!
Maybe 70-80 years ago... they need to wake up!
😄😁😆😅🤣
”united states is still the worlds best country”
haha you have no clue how many times better Scandinavia is brother
Dude has no clue how much the top 10% get away with doing in this country where they’d be taxed like crazy in any European country. And he still wants to act like that’s good and they shouldn’t be paying that much give me a fucking break
Yeah you can thank us for protecting you.. nato says hi
@@johnk6534 protecting us from what? Aliens?
@@Brewskidudeski you have much 2 learn.
@@Brewskidudeski Nato says hi
Norway is a liberal social democratic monarchy. That you even compare that to socialism , wich by definition is a republic, just shows how different our worlds are 😅
But anything left of Biden, who would be in a right leaving party in most European countries, are communist. Haha.
Don't take them too seriously.
Just dumb Americans being dumb.
There are clear similarities.
@@berntmariustromsdal9215 Open a book and read the definition of socialism.
Socialism = planned economy, state ownership of everything, heavily regulated social structures and no individual liberty.
Norway= liberal economy, low level of state Investment in critical services and strong individual liberty.
A welfare system and social security net is not a socialist idea, and the Norwegian welfare system is widely different than a socialist welfare system.
The Norwegian welfare system is based in our monarchy and is something we can trace back to the feudal system, centuries before socialism was a thing.
This might be the winner of intellectually lazy videos so far this year. So much wrong in such a short time - "president of Norway", "nicer version of China" and many others. Your viewers should be sceptical about the information they get from your channel, judging by this video.
he he, yes, as a Norwegian I had to laugh at several things :-P
But none the less it was an entertaining clip.
Agreed, and they have 120K subscribers. That's what really blows my mind.
Absolutely.
Americans finaly researching the taxes we really pay in "socialist" countries in Europe while having "free" education, healthcare, etc. and realizing they pay more in some places in America while having none of that.
What is most interesting is that Norwegians get back 84% of everything we have paid in taxes. A US citizen gets only 19%. That's the most important thing. Norway has 5.4 million inhabitants - no government debt but a 9-year budget in reserve of $ 1.3 trillion. www.nbim.no
@@lpdude2005 perhaps the reason they’re opposed to the taxes is the way the us gov spends them
@@MiamiManiac Yee. I think soo. We dont have big incometaxes because its incl. age-pensionsaving. The tak is 9% for incom like $12000 and 33.3% for $125000. But first you deduct expenses for income - also all interest on loans and credits - from the balance you pay tax.
@@lpdude2005 So it's the same system for paying taxes. The difference is how it's spent.
@@user-vy2cq1kq6u lol i guess...
A nicer version of China!!?? So, these guys have NO FREAKING clue.
It’s not socialism. It’s just like Canada. Free market capitalistic democracy with socialized programs
these dummies call anything that isn't American style crony capitalism, "Socialism"
And 75% tax rates lol
@@funbags6471 Even with that the average Norwegian still makes more than you do with the same occupation and has a better quality of life lmao
@@angelmagana7385 I live in Canada, i meant 75% tax rate here.
Correct. We have great social security for national economic reasons. We do not have people living on the sidewalk or people begging for food - We give them the opportunity to apply for new jobs instead of sending them to the basement
Norway is like light years ahead lol 😆.
Yup! Specially with gass prices, tax rates and bureaucracy. 🙄
@@TheRexTera I will gladly pay our gas prices, and get free hospital bills if i'm in a car crash. What happens for an american if they are immobilized in a car crash, and has to stay a week in the hospital? Does that equal my tax for the last year? last 10? 20? What third world country bankrupts a person for being in an accident? How the fuck do you pay 10k for giving birth? Where is the logic in that?
And for tax. I pay 35%, and have done for 20 years. I will easily pay that for someone else getting a free week in the hospital for an accident. No question.
@@thanossnap4170 We also pay for their defense. Someone has to be the global military super power and I personally don't want it to be China. Also I imagine norwegians trust their government to correctly allocate funds to these social programs. With the way American politics are I don't trust the government to allocate tax funds in a way that benefits us, I'd rather just pay for my own shit. CA for example has insanely high taxes and people in california don't get shit for it, it just goes into the pockets of corrupt politicians and Unions. I'm not opposed to Norway like policies, infact I'm all for a STATE trying them, just never the federal government.
Yes since their citizens are taxed to hell, they live in a country which has population size smaller than every US state, they are energy independent since the state runs their giant oil industry, they are socially and racially homogeneous, amd they are protected by the US so they don’t fund a military
@@gageczajkowski7755 What do you mean "taxed to hell"? I'm genuinaly curious. I pay 35% tax ish. And i'm happy to pay it. If something happens to me, everything from the hospital is free. They could do a 24 hour operation on me, and i would be billed 0,-. No charge. Nothing. And if it happens to my neighbour, i would gladly pay that tax for him to recieve the same care.
Maybe that’s why Kai always looked so sad & disinterested back there. He felt like he had way more to offer. BIG UPs to Kai!
Agreed, job well done, Kai
When are ppl going to pick up a dictionary or history books and ACTUALLY get the definition of socialism? "Scandinavia" is not socialism. It's like saying Europe is the most productive country in the world, or USA is the biggest country in the world. You can't dismiss or believe something because it feels right or wrong. JFC
facepalm, did he just say its a nicer china?
Yes 😂🤣😂🤣🖖
*Rolling on the floor, laughing my butt off in Swedish*
They’re desperate to say socialism is so bad everything has to be connected to China or Venezuela so they don’t lose the people who start questioning why we are “the richest country in the world” but have so many people barely making it by
I don’t know how Patrick keeps on mindlessly parrots “America is still the greatest country in the world” it’s a general I feel good to be American platitude he throws around without deeper examination. I’m American and have moved to Oslo- let me tell you- for the average person the quality of life here is much better than the United States.
Well, the US is good for the ruling class, not so much for everyone else. That's why the wealthiest people in the US always talk about how great it is, and they convince poor people that they can one day win the lottery and be rich. That delusion is what keeps the poor believing in the American dream while they are being robbed blind by the rich. Meanwhile the US is a paradise for billionaires and business owners who have unlimited potential to hoard wealth, influence government, evade taxes, pay poverty wages, etc.
//// This ep. were an eyopner for me. As a Scandinavian (norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland (yes, they are seperate country’s)). I hear the panel has done very little to give an informed comentery on Norway (in this case). Now I will be VERY sceptical going forward listening to topics witch I don’t know a lot about....people do your owne research. Use You tubers to get into new subjects, nothing more nothing less. (Yes, my English could be better. Scandinavians learn 3 or 4, cant master them all, sorry.)
Bada Bong. I'd say. And its very similar in all socialist and non-communist or fascist countries.
They are typical americans. Unilingual, biased and uninformed.
This comment was an eyeopener for me. Because it is easy to think they are as knowledgeable as they are confident.
Also, in Norway, isnt it like you have to pay 50 percent taxes on any job you take that isnt your main job? Or am I just misunderstanding?
@@qine6559 no, that is totaly wrong.
Iceland is a nordic country like Finland, not scandinavian, although I’m glad you think so
"A socialist contry has to has 50%+ taxation" gimme a break... Just because a country has programs that take care of the people, doesn't make it oppressive or communist (which is the subtext almost always). I'd say go check the place out for yourself but uhm, yeah.
No. Dont let them come here!
Trust me, You do not want public healthcare a la Norway. Our regional hospital is dubbed "The corpse factory"
@@TheNordicnighthawk among the 15 best in the world
@@gullfeber Our hospitals in Norway are among the 15 best in the world?? If that is true, it's quite scary. I know first hand that swedish hospitals are much better than norwegian. Spain are better too as far as I have seen.
Norway has a systemic problem. The hospitals are ridden with administrators that are busy building their own career and fight each other. In addition to that are norwegian doctors quite poorly trained although they receive 5,5 years of education. If you need a doctor in Norway you will soon realize that east european doctors working here are more qualified.
@@TheNordicnighthawk healthcare is the 15th best in the world, that is based on way much more than personal experiences from individuals, fortunately!
Just to be clear, the oil money from Norway went into an investment fund thats returns pay for Norweigians healthcare and education etc. Sound investment making returns to the people x
Not true. All of the 254 billion norwegian kroner used from the oil fund last year went to pay the 264 billion nok bill from imigration (official numbers -real numbers are most likely higher). Norwegians pay their own way and more. Still our hospitals and schools are among the worst in the western world. Don't believe official statistics.
@@TheNordicnighthawk wrong wrong and wrong. The oilfund had a return of 1070 billion nok in 2020. The state budget gave 17,2 billion to immigration in 2017 so i doubt your 254 billion figure for 2020 is even close to reality.
I have experience from hospitals in Sweden, Norway, Ireland and Hungary. Out of these countries Norway is willing to spend to most per patient and pays for better but more expensive medications and procedures. Yet norway still has a way to go.
The international student assessment results for norway arent amazing, but still consistantly top 20 in the world.
@@staole638 I think you are conflating the return from the oil fund with the means allowed according to the 4% consensus rule.
Please read comment on Finansavisens Kjell Erik Eilertsen estimate:
www.document.no/2018/11/12/koster-innvandringen-250-milliarder-i-aret/
regarding hospitals and health budgets: Throwing money at a poorly run system does not mean that it has anything good to show for. It is like buing booze to an alcoholic and claim that you have helped him with his dependency.
4:11 "Like a nicer version of china." You are so delusional.
I feel like he was joking but the guys still a douche bag
What’s the difference?
Love how American that statement is 🤣
Love how it sums up how Americans see socialism so quickly. Socialism? Nope bad. Period don’t wanna hear anything else. 😂
@@dannyv2230 We dont have socialism
Y’all acting dumb us spend 765 billion on a army fighting the damn air every year
I’m so tired that Pat is calling Norway a socialist country or a socialist state with a capitalist market, guys just do the proper research, Norway is the definition of capitalism, and its been like that for years, i suggest you guys go ahead and study what capitalism and socialism is, btw big fan of the show and Pat, just don’t misinform people pleeeease! We already have the main media doing that for us. Much love!
It’s a social democracy. Not socialist.
Thank you from Norway, finally someone who gets it
Yeah but when I say I want free healthcare in free education like they do in Norway but in america you call me a socialist ,,,, Why does that happen ?
If you are listening to this guy on any topic you really need to examine yourself.
@@JohnSmith-ef2sx Because the US is not a democrycy but a cleptocracy.
On the outer shell they look different.
But inside they are just too large to be ruled any differently.
We in Europe have less laws and rules and regulations and are much more feree open minded and "capitalistic" then most US Americans.
We just don't wave around with all our money. Its not polite.
We are allowed to bathe our donkeys and spit on the pavement
and carry our beer openly and even drink it in public.
Try that on any US street.
We are even allowed to marry the same gender! Think about that!
You can see how salty is that guy that he throw the comment from china
Yeah because when someone brings up socialism conservatives love saying how bad it has made China and Venezuela. But if there is a good example of a country that has some socialist values “I don’t wanna hear about it.” 😂😂
Because it's a stupid fucking thing to say...
Kai made it to the big boy table, let's go!!
I know taxes are high in many European countries but at least the citizens/legal residents get thier taxes worth in services. Here in America we pay taxes and get crumbs.
What is most interesting is that Norwegians get back 84% of everything we have paid in taxes. A US citizen gets only 19%. That's the most important thing. Norway has 5.4 million inhabitants - no government debt but a 9-year budget in reserve of $ 1.3 trillion. www.nbim.no
The taxes in Europe aren’t even that high compared to America. Most of the time they’re actually the same or lower
Well in Germany we pay in taxes for our government retirement Insurance plans. Guess what. Each year we get less and less retirement funds. In Germany you can‘t live on the retirement funds that you get except if you are government employee. Same case with “free” education. People all over the world pay the high tuition fees and go to US but not that many people want to take advantage of “free” education in Germany.
@@Tinfoilhat2023 In Norway, we have several social security funds for old-age benefits. The main fund is of course www.nbim.no which now has approximately Euro 1.1 Trillion. I understand well that not many people study in Germany - It is probably due to the fact that the language is not a world language. The same applies in Norway. We have many international students - but they go to schools that are often very advanced and the teaching is in English.
@@lpdude2005 Almost all the taxes the americans pay is to cover a militar budget of a country which soil were never threatened.
As an american I love the humourous rebuttle. We aren't really permitted to use humor or express opinions atm but it looks good on you guys.
«The US is still the best…. Awww fuck I was shot trying to buy milk and learn math»💀💀💀😭😭😭😭
9 times out of 10, someone who says “the US is still #1”! Hasn’t been outside the country.
Folks, there are not just the categories of capitalism and socialism. (I wouldn't call Norway a socialist state by any means)
America has a huge welfare state!
@@cooldudecs Norway has a bigger welfare state than America.
When Americans say they want free healthcare and education they're called socialists. When norway actually gets those things, they're capitalist . Makes sense, bro.
@@JohnSmith-ef2sx we have healthcare. We also have the largest welfare system in the world... Y'all just lazy
@Babylon City nothing mixed about stealing wealth and concentrating it into political hands. They are defined as socialists. That system doesn't work here because we are an engine of the world. We need productivity, not people on there ass
Pat looks like a proud dad when youngster Kai is talking and in the mean time guiding him and making him comfortable. Patrick u r a true mentor
It’s weird when Pat isn’t yelling at him lol
"so is Norway like a nicer version of China?"
"America is still the greatest country..."
I swear, every time I think the US people are missrepresented in the media, I get pulled back in to these cartoon characters. Who talks like this? Honestly?
Just to be clear; China has a one-party state, Norway has a full democracy currently represented by 9 parties from right to left. China has very limited freedom of expression through art, and full cencorship on critics towards the political system. Norway have full freedom in every way of expression through art, open debate, religious gatherings and worship, open critics of public services etc. So, living in Norway, I think we can say that the only socialistic reality is that some of the public services like hospital and universitets are paid through the taxes. The main media channels here are also coloured by the left.
"30 new EVs by 2025" but not for sale right? Just to show GM shareholders...
They'll probably have about 25 electric vehicle options by then. I think they're just going to make electric engine options for the models they have now.
@@scottyhaines4226 An EV does not use an engine as it is electric.
It's GM, it's going to be the same vehicle badge engineered for a few different brand. Just like their Silverados and Sierra, same trucks.
@@Coltn3125 i don't think you're understanding me. What I'm saying is that there will be an electric motor version of each of their vehicles.
@@scottyhaines4226 If they do that they will have to sell them at a loss just to stay in the competitive space.
Also I did understand what you were trying to say. All I was saying is that an engine is ICE tech not EV.
I absolutely loved the Norwegian response (from all their institutions). “A nicer version of China”... no comment to that... I wonder why you need to dismiss others to feel better.
The taxes isn't what is costly in Norway, it is the VAT. That is why some products are so expensive in Norway. For instance gasoline, liquor or cigarettes. So when tourists are complaining about expensive merchandise, they dont realize it is part of the VAT.
Stunns me that one of you guys dont know the difference between Norway and Sweden. It's two different countries. Sweden is also an EU country, Norway isn't.
Remember, a majority countries in Europe has a mandatory retirement system which balances the cost of any type of care.
The quality of life in Norway is WAAAYY better than the US...like it's not even close. I am not norvegian (I am actually romanian) and I visited both countries and it's not even a question about that. They were really lucky with the oil, but really smart too
Unless you’re assessing this based on knowledge of each state, then this holds zero weight. I can’t speak for Norway, but I suspect every area is not equal across cost of living factors.
@@CoachJJ i am talking about the US as a country overall versus Norway overall. I haven't visited all states, but you can look up pretty much every "good" top and Norway will come on top
@@dragosi8980 Yea, understood. I’m just saying there are plenty of places in the U.S. that I would not want to live and yet people do. I think my tilt is biased to an individual to be able choose their environment, and more of this has to do with age, family status and competencies. E.g. A lot of smart Silicon Valley techies are moving to rarer lands with lower costs of living, wisely.
4:33 "most people are working and taking care of it. so paying in and getting back from the state"
"...You mean taxes?"
The difference between the U.S. and Norway is the U.S. is corrupt in its tax use and Norway isn't.
war machine sux
You say the U.S is the greatest country on Earth. But at what though? What specifically are you guys so great at? It's not like you top the list of anything. Well except military spenditure and people incarserated. But besides that, the U.S doesn't really come out on top, ever.
Best infrastructure, most opportunity compared to every other country on earth, best music, best entertainment, best clothing brands, best universities....the list goes on pal
@@dwaynejohnson3656 half of the things you list here are highly subjective. what you consider the "best" music,entertainment and clothing brands, I might detest.
As for having the worlds best infrastructure: The U.S is ranked 13th, not even close to best.
"most opportunity" your country is ranked at 28th for social progression opportunity.
Universities are among the only things you can actually claim to have a high ranking standing with, but there are plenty of other countries with elite schools at every level.
The list really doesnt go on "pal", if you actually do some research on this topic you are bound for a rude awakening.
I`ve got more family in the U.S than Norway where im from, I love the states, but the states has some serious issues and your populations ignorance towards whats going on outside your boarders is almost comical.
@@dwaynejohnson3656 The U.S is ranked 13th in infrastructure, you barely place 4th in terms of best universities, you're the 53rd most free country, and your literacy rate is dogshit. You do produce some dope music though, ngl. "Best entertainment and clothing brands" is irrelevant.
The USA is the backbone of the west.
@@jjsmithlago1234 if by "backbone" you mean, the single biggest perpetrator of drone bombing its "enemies" to smithereens then, sure.
if ure talking about financial backbone,then your country is currently closing in on 28 billions in debt.
You dont produce anything in your country anymore, your biggest companies all produce their products with slave and child labor from the east.
Your population have an insane percentage of obesity and elected a reality show star as its highest official.
You last election had countless people believing insane conspiracies that a 5 year old could debunk in 10 minutes, which ended with a massive crowd storming the capitol.
Backbone of the west, more like laughing stock and something for the rest of the west to point and laugh at while telling our self "at least we aint that bad"

What a freaking waste of time. If they had spent 20 minutes doing some prep work before recording this, and/or brought in some people with actual knowledge, they could have had an interesting conversation. But this is a waste. 🙄
Tell us why since you seem to know so much.
You don't have to look at Norway. Look at your neighbor, Canada. Very similar.
Have you seen the healthcare system throughout Canada? Doesn't seem to be working as greatly as people think it is.
@@alexanderka1956 That's a misconception created by US media to serve special interests. This was leaked recently by MSNBC I think... Search on UA-cam you'll find it. There is no perfect health care system, anywhere, but Canada's system is among the best. Whether you are on unemployed or a billionaire, you have equal access to free medical care... Same doctors, hospitals, etc.
@@uniquelypositive well now that you mention MSNBC I can rest assured. Seriously in Canada clinics are closed on weekends meaning you better not get sick during weekends, and if you go to public hospital the waiting time is so long that you are better off trying your luck with alternative medicine at home instead, and that's videotaped by a Canadian where the doctor/nurse tells them they should go to a private doctor otherwise they would have to wait for months just to get an examination by a real Doctor, so the all day long wait is for a nurse to see you and tell you if you need to see a doctor or not and then you wait months for a doctor. Like really? And that is actually videotaped. So no Canada has no healthcare system to be proud of. There are only a few countries that free healthcare system works and that should be the Scandinavian countries, and perhaps that has to do with the ethics of the people who work at hospitals and who actually care about doing their job the right way. Other than a few countries out of 195+ everywhere else, universal healthcare is crappier that actuall crap. So universal healthcare should either consist of unpaid doctors who will accept anonymous donations from their patients or just actually do good and health people completely for free with maybe a guarantee of living quarters and food. Otherwise I trust no doctor to heal me, because for starters they are big time liers and or big time see stupid sheep following whatever is told to them by people with money and people with power.
@@uniquelypositive and I'm sure there isn't even one millioner, let alone billionaire who would ever go and trust a public hospital.
They should listen more to the dude who actually knows stuff. He tries to get his line in with the extra fee you have to pay for all goods, but they don't hear him. For each liter of petrol you buy in Norway, for instance, you pay 8 kroner to the state, 6 kroner to the oil company and 2-3 kroner to the gas-station...
So yes, we have quite low tax, but stuff costs money. Denemark has lower fees on goods, and higher tax. And also: Americans sould read up on the difference between a totalitarian economy and a welfare-state.
Sounds like Australia. We have free medical but all workers pay a “Medicare levy”. Our taxes are very high but we have a good social security system (public housing, unemployment benefits, pensioner payments for all people over 65). When we buy a property we pay 4% “Stamp duty” and every investment property sold is subjected to capital gains tax. Average tax is 32.5% and goes as high as 45%. We have 10% GST on all purchases. Min wage for a 17 yr old is $19.84 p/hr. However life is good in Australia and very low homeless rate. Now during Covid, almost the entire country and businesses have been paid by the government for the past nine months to prevent businesses closing and unemployment. It feels like it’s working because the property market is now booming all over the country and the economy is chugging along in spite of Chinas spiteful trade embargoes on us. The government was about to announce a surplus just before Covid hit, but of course now there is a major deficit.
That's communism Australia's a communist regime no freedom over there no guns
No one cares about Astriaaaa
The REAL avg personal tax rate in Norway is actually 27.3%. Most normal people in working age pay around 22-24%. Incremental taxes are added as you make more money and/or own more value. At least this is how it was explained to me by a person i trust on these issues. I did not fact check this but seems accurate based on my own numbers
@@rayranja VAT on food is 15% ;)
Norway is not a "socialist" state already and the US isn't the best country in the world, it's maybe only one of many. Stop being ignorant 🙄
Outsiders love Norway until they see our beer prices, lol
Norway is no where near a socialist country.
Biggest problem with Americans that is that we chose to be ignorant as a whole. Most Europeans speak more than 2 languages :(
That’s true. America is a dying nation... there is a reason this is happening. The same cultural problems we have now happened to Germany before WW2. So do the math...
Well, yes - we do. However, compared to the US you would have to see Europe as a whole to become geographically comparable. So, if we travel comparatively what for you would be two states over then there's a totally different language. So to compare, I can now speak two and a half language well (Norwegian, English and German) and can understand Swedish, Danish and French. And I'm nothing special in that regard. However, if all of Europe had one common language I'm sure I wouldn't have learned that many languages...
@@ohrosberg yes an inconvenience but languages are great!
Do your homework first. You don't know what you're talking about.
Why need to, got a big enough mouth and make an entertaning clown... big money💸
Norway’s grid never Froze over like Texas. And their senator never left to Cancun
Americans finding out they are not living in the "greatest country in the world". LOL
Correction: Education is not «FREE» in Norway, it’s taxpayer funded. Get your facts straight!🤨
I think people understand this, but that is not the point. If Norway can sustain this sort of policy without hyperinflation and w/ solid GDP then America has to face the fact that we’d rather use taxes for national defense, bailing out failing banks and companies etc.
If young Americans start flocking to Norway for education, we couldn’t blame them but this will prove detrimental in the long run.
Love Kai Hope he becomes a regular.
Why are Americans so quick to dismiss everyone else's systems?
That wasn’t Will Farrel, that was Gator.
Australia is the best place to be middle class. Amazing beaches, any climate you want, low crime, universal healthcare and great schools. VAT/GST is just 10%. Income tax is 0% for $20,000 per year. 19.3% for $70,000. 25% for $166,000 33% for $204,000. However if you make millions you will pay 47%. Long term (1 year) capital gains is 0% up to a max of 23.5%. NZ is the best place for billionaires, top income rate is 33% and 0% capital gains tax. NZ is amazingly lovely like Australia.
LMAO!!! USA, greatest country of the world?! LMAO!!!
All the people in the comments saying Norway isn't socialist they're capitalist, but when some Americans advocate for the same free healthcare and education you call us socialist. You're pretty deep thinkers.
I know this is way to late, but the reality with all taxes including hidden taxes comes up to 70-80% tax in Norway.
I make about 100k a year and pay 42% tax on salary + all hidden taxes.
This is not something people are talking about here in Norway.
And yes healthcare is free, but waiting lists from 6 months are often the case when it comes to mental care and many other health problems.
And we have to pay some for every visit, so its not 100% free.
The gov wastes so much money in Norway you would not belive it.
We are puppets and never complaining.
And just to finish, no we do NOT have free speach.
If we can get jailed or fined for speach, it is not free.
And we can.
The first error here 7:44 "The US is still the greatest country in the world" , that's not truth
Canada.. oh, USA. what's the difference ;-P
the school shootings
American propaganda at it's best. 🤔 You claim that America is still the best country in the world...That is only true for Americans who are not curious enough to have ever left America, not even for an vacation. Sorry, but that's a fact. I have been to America many times, going from stat to state. I love America, but I'm happy I don't live there.
Norway is NOT socialist. It is a capitalistic country where the government takes control over the markets that don't work on its own due to monopolistic competition. For example, healthcare does not work on its own, because everyone is willing to pay as much as they can. Thus the government is the best at taking care of that because they aren't looking for a big profit. Private healthcare providers exist in Norway as well, but they are forced to keep their prices low as they have to compete with the government. So in that sense, Norway is actually MORE capitalistic than the US as they protect the free market and aim to make it as close as possible to perfect competition.
He just said 400grand isn’t a lot of money wtf r u smokn
That's it, I'm moving to Norway!
Sorry, we have closed our boarders. This is due to covid. See you sometime in the future.
3:55 we did Not take a shit at capitalism we are also capitalists, we Just have a strong welfare state to boot instead of 12000 fighter jets
Norway is not s socialist country by any means. They do have welfare programs, free education, maternity leaves, free health care and so on, which are pretty normal things in Europe. They do not have a president but a king. And yes, you guys are over taxed if you think what you get in return.
What a beautiful response from Norway.
A superpower a essentially a bully. Why don’t you smh at your glorification of ruthlessness? Refusing to nuke other countries is admirable not something to strive for. I see your smh and raise you two smh’s
Did you take into account social security taxes? In Finland you have to add about 15% on top of income tax rate for social security payment.
Social security is included, yes. No extra tax for that. :)
@@ohrosberg Well I just googled it and it's 22%. It's just paid by employer so you don't even know it's there. Thats how they trick us thinking we pay lower taxes in nordic countries.
@@VilleHyytiainenInvesting My apologies... You are right, I forgot about that.
@@ohrosberg No worries. I wish the social security payments were moved to employees so that taxation would be more transparent. Many people don't know how much they are really paying tax from their salary.
You can’t compare American to Norway, Norway has very little diversity, no crime, no guns and it’s the size of one of our bigger states besides here our government practically works on behalf of big oil, big pharma etc most of our elected officials are bought & paid for
Guy from Norway here. Most people in Norway pay a tax at about 33-35%. Richer people pay more for money they make after a certain number, but for the majority of the population this does not apply. We are a mixed economy, which means the state takes care of certain things (like healthcare, education and so on, although with private options if you have money) and private market interests takes care of selling clothes, food and so on, with some governement oversight to avoid monopolies and unfair pricehicking (like your american pharma compenies do all the time). We are not socialists, we are a social democracy, those are different ideologies and i will take great offense (as would most norwegians) of any comparisson to China, venezuela or other socialist or communist states. Hope this helped clear some things up.
22-33%*
US is still the greatest country in the world? Great in what?
Having the highest number of millionaires and the highest homelessness rate
Or
Being forced to pay tax even when you are no longer leaving in the US?
Every interview is more explosive thanks Pat to you and your friends
All the shots 😂😂😂
And studies show that people in Scandinavian countries have been found to be the most happy with their lives.
What's the difference between Norway and Sweden you ask. Well... Norway is safer, cleaner, richer and more expensive. /Swede
Well, Sweden has IKEA, surstömming and Pippi Longstocking though ;) /Norwegian
“US is still the greatest country in the world” LoL 😂
Getting harder and harder to say that everyday.
It literally ain't, I really wanna move to Norway now lol
I'm glad to see KAi on the table. 👍🏾
Opposite with Norway, California ALONE has way more population, refuses to drill, business un-friendly, AND worst of all corrupted politicians and well fed unions.

There is a neck beard at this table.
in norway taxes work because as soon as i get my money, i spend it. when i spend that money. the very same money get taxed again and again. the goverment basically gets back 25% more of whatever was left. every time i spend it, i have to pay taxes either directly or indirectly.

Not really.
It's a nice country.
But apart from military might...
Let's just say that there's a lot of room for improvement.
The US probably *could* be the greatest country in the world if it would just drop the fantasy that it already is and started learning from others.
That's generally what the best countries out there do.
Non of them are perfect of course.
And there *are* genuinely things that the US is first in...
But like most truly large nations it's a bit too inwards looking.
@@Hooked_on_Gyro First of all, Norway is NOT a communist countrt. Same goes with all other european countries. Here in Norway we're a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarchy. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/186600.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj-oPWTr5nvAhWSlosKHXCRD9YQFjABegQIAhAG&usg=AOvVaw1XpzAyy9eDIqjwRfFLrEZ-
Norway is neither communistic nor capitalistic. We have a mix of both. Thanks to our taxes, we have equal pay, low economic class divisions since people with a low income pay less taxes and people with high income pay higher taxes. Because of our taxes, we also get a supported income from our state if we're not able to find a job, the state also helps us find a job for free. Schools, kindergartens, roads and hospitals are also and more available for us to use since it's in the countries tax budget. Because of our oil fund, we have 9 years worth of plan b money if our country would suddenly fail. Our government has no debt with 1.2 trillion usd in it's oil fund. It seems to me that our country and all other scandinavian and european countries understands what they should actually spend money on to keep the country and it's population happy and up to date. We don't spend almost all of our taxes on our military since we have our NATO agreement in case a country in that agreement would be attacked. The US is one of 30 country members, just because your country spends a shitton of money on its military doesn't mean the us would be the only country to help out. Every country in that agreement would have to help the NATO country that is being attacked meaning we don't need a big military force. All 30 countries act as one military force in case of an attack. The US pays just as much to NATO as Germany which is 16% as of 2018. www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/how-nato-budget-is-funded-2018-7%3famp
You also have to think a little, Europe has lots of smaller countries. How the hell is one small country gonna be able to compete with the amount of people that live in the US? In Norway our population is around 5.3 million (2019), the US has a population of 328.2 million (2019). That's almost 62 times more than Norways population. How can we physically have a military as big and economically supported as the US?
I said this when Biden won the nomination: "I'm not for paging Bernie taxes, without Bernie benefits."
Trump was no where near that bad sheeple.
Trump was as bad as they come. For example, the six-three conservative court thinks Norway can put as much of that oil fund as we want into a super-PAC and start buying house-members by running ads for the ones we like. And the total number of dead from covid in Norway (which is our worst tragedy since WW2) has yet to reach the number estimated to have died from covid as a result of Trump's campaign rallies
@@magnusalexander2965 I dont understand a majority of what you just said. But, a 6-3 majority is not bad, its happened many times. You obviously did not see the inauguration, where they literally did the same things that they accused trump of with his rallies. And as far as the handle of the virus that 98% of people recover from (with falsified death numbers), we have a vaccine, it took 8 months. Trump was probably the best president in modern history, and I never even voted for the guy, but I didn't vote for the others either. 😂
@@jaylaan421yahoocom It means us Norwegians, or anybody else, can buy legally buy your politicians without you knowing it, thanks to Trump. So thanks, I guess. And your covid death rates are about twelve times higher than ours, why? And if you're gonna give Trump credit for the vaccine, why don't I get some credit? After all, I was also alive when scientists worked on it
@@magnusalexander2965 you think that wasn't happening before trump?
@@jaylaan421yahoocom What, the covid failure or the three Trump-appointed judges? It's true that the legalized corruption happened during the 5-4 conservative majority earlier, but the decision between Clinton and Trump was, in part, a decision about whether my country could buy your government or not, and these votes are explicitly along party lines, with GOP-appointed judges always voting for our rights to decide your policies. So many Americans go to conspiracy when all these corrupt policies are public knowledge for anyone who's bothered to follow the legislation

The Norwegian tax system is progressive in that the tax increases with the size of the income.
An average income gives a tax rate of well below 30 percent. This applies if you have no deductions (beyond the standard deduction) or other surcharges in the income. A wage income of, for example, NOK 550,000 gives a tax rate of 26.2 per cent in 2021. An income of NOK 1 million gives a tax rate of 33.0 per cent.
U need to come visit Scandinavia post corona and do an investigation series. I recommend u get in contact with swedish youtuber Henrik Jönsson, he has alot of informative content on Sweden available in English.
Compare Norway to China is a bit too rich!
*"Like a nicer version of China."*
*"That's Sweden." "Well, what's the difference?"*
Ah yes ... U.S. ignorance. No wonder so many from the U.S. say they're Canadians when they vacation in Europe 😂
I’m an European. China is a second world country dictatorship with concentration camps. Norway is a first world country with a democracy where it’s citizens can criticise their government without the fear of being locked up!
Yeah, especially considering that Norway has the officially highest rate of freedom of speech for the press in the world. We all know how China loves freedom of the press.
I lived in Sweden for a year. The quality of life is so much better than the USA. Coming back to the USA was such a culture shock at how backward we are. Also, these guys are typical of how uninformed we are as a country. We are not the best, just the loudest and most delusional.
Norway is not sosialistic! A good sosial system, yes! All our money is produced by using raw capitalistic way. One third of the norwegian sovereign fund is invested in USA. Thank you for making money for us.
Let's go to Norway!
As an American. This is gold. 🙈🙉🙊
First of all. You need to do some more research😊. Norway has about 50 top tax above approximately 70k. Also, it’s true the oil money is going in to the “oil fund”, but we are using 3-4 % of the return the fund is gaining annually. The size of the fund It’s about 250k for every Norwegian if we delivered it out to everyone. That includes children and all inhabitants of Norway.
This deal includes free education, free healthcare and descent pension/retirement.
Also we have set budgets for health care. That means that we don’t have expenses that we don’t want the cost of.
An example: if you are 70 years old and got cancer you might not get ultra expensive treatment to prolong your life for some few years if it’s impossible to cure you. In a free healthcare system a life has a price. The price varies with conditions and age.
With insurance in Florida I might get the most expensive medicine in the world if my insurance pay for it. Maybe even if it would give me a few more months to live. That’s why healthcare is so expensive in the us. Over treatment of dying people.
My 33% Norwegian Tax is equal to Americans State Tax, Federal Tax, 401k, All Health Insurance, FDIC, Unemployment Insurance, Retirement, 100% Medical, .....I do that ALL with 33% of my Paycheck.
