Exactly. I've been living in Norway for over a decade, and I've never heard *any...

I'm not from norway, but here's a few articles I found in a minute of searching:

* http://www.newsinenglish.no/2010/08/24/more-tax-trouble-for-... * http://www.norwaypost.no/news/higher-taxes-for-many-pensione...

I assume these don't represent the general view, but it does show that at least some people in norway dislike the level of taxation.

I'm sure they exist-- I just haven't crossed paths with any, in 13 years here.

Oh, come on, I hear it all the time. Generally they're either Americans or support the FrP (the so-called "Progress Party").

Must be different social circles. I don't know any FrP types, but I do know some other Americans, and I've yet to hear any complain.

Probably, especially considering I'm fairly sure we've never met. :)

Don't get me wrong, the Americans I talk to regularly (and work with) aren't complaining about this, but if you get enough foreigners in a room together, there always seem to be a few who like to complain about taxes.

As for the FrP, the ones I know tend to be younger, and while they don't mind complaining about taxes, the real reason they tend towards the FrP is racism, even when they'd rather not admit it.

What do you do in Norway? How did you come to live there?
