Oh the woes of those poor, hunted billionares...

[Louis VI the Fat]

Ah well. It's the same everywhere in the West. The poor receive money. The rich receive or forge themselves endless benefits. And the middle clas is squeezed out to the last penny.

Norwegians invest an enormous amount of their earnings into public goods like roads, infrastructure, eduction, health, law and order. Into all those prerequisites for running a succesful billion kroner retail industry. If the guy thinks himself above paying his fair share, then nationalise his industry and sell it to those who will contribute their share to society.

'Nuff of this pandering to the whims of billionaires and multinationals. Countries serve the people, and businesses serve the people. Not the other way round.

It's been illegal to migrate to Norway for the last decades...

Now don't be silly.

My paranoid mind is beginning to think that it's no coincidence that this happens a few months before the election.... He has donated millions to the opposition these last years... If it is a political statement, it kinda blew up in his face though, as every other rich guy I've seen interviewed has called him an idiot, and then there's this thing about that shipping tycoon moving back...

Now don't be silly.

Silly? But 'tis true, my friend.

We accepted immigration in the 70's, when the pakistani's came to bump our working force. In the 80's, we closed our borders. The only people we accept now, are those we are bound to accept by international treaties, ie. a certain amount of refugees and asylum seekers.

Oh, and spouses.

Capital gains tax is for profits made off business. And no living off investments, stocks, bonds, etc. is not neccassarily construed as income, sometimes, but not always.

Oh and i have found your english to be fine

I'm not able to respond to that unfortunately, I don't know the exact technical terms in english... In norwegian, we have a term called "aksjeutbytte" which is the term for the money you gain from "living off investments, stocks, bonds, etc".... I thought that translated as "capital gains tax".... In any event, it's still an income, and should still be taxed.
