If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people
under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. - Thomas Jefferson

Why Norwegians Pay Taxes

Norway MP called fortune-tellers (bbc)

Yes, a member of Norway's Parliament rang up a phone bill calling pay per minute psychics. In one month she called a psychic 793 times. More than one psychic told her to stop calling!

Best part is: She billed it all to the government! (Apparently it was a cost of doing business?(side note: They made her pay it back)) I wonder how many times she voted yay or nay based on what a psychic told her...

THIS is whynorwegianspaytaxes.
