Trump decided the tradition wasn't for him, and instead spent the day on the golf course for the 95th time..

Norway has some of the highest taxes in the world. It has a VAT (sales tax) of 25%. Total taxes take over 45% of GDP, compared with 29% in the US. The government is the major share holder in most of the biggest corporate employers.

All of that money the government sucks out of the economy goes to providing a high quality of living for people on welfare.
Norway is # 5, the place is falling apart at the seams.

Edit: H4C beat me to it!!

Interesting to point out last year a Norway had it's first deficit in 20 years.It's been almost 20 years that the United States DIDN'T have a deficit.Apparently, they know how to avoid squandering money.

My wife and I gathered up some old coats and brought them down to the drop-off for a local agency's winter coat drive. It wasn't much, but it was something.

The Clinton and Gore photo looks 100% staged. If they actually had been even tearing out the least amount of drywall which the picture implies they would not be clean as they appear. Also anyone really doing demo would not be using the puny sized hammer Clinton is holding.

I never even noticed that Clinton is clean as a whistle. Heck, clothing got more soiled in the Oval Office than in that pic.

W on the other hand was sporting a MAN-SIZED artist brush.Didn't see any paint on him, though.

If you were thinking of better race relations as your teeth were whitened, then you get a pass.

You sure about that? Hint: Bet less than $5 and save yourself the loss.

On average, conservatives give more to charity than liberals.

http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2014/1...-Conservatives

While most coverage of the report has focused on the finding that top-earners have been giving a smaller share of their income to charity than poorer Americans, The Chronicle study also highlights "giving patterns," broken out by state and compared against how each state voted in the 2012 presidential election, i.e., whether it went for Romney or Obama.

Overall, the states in which people gave the highest percentage of their adjusted gross incomes were also states that voted for Romney, while states in which people gave the lowest percentage of their adjusted gross income went for Obama. The top 17 states for rate of giving all went for Romney.

I'm sure this still scored heavily in rep power. AKA The right wing reach around.
