There is a lot of manifestations going on in here in Québec (Canada). Students are outsides of classes fighting a raise of 85% in the education fees. According to many, countries from Scandinavia are examples for us. Our situation is better than USA but it could be better and I wish the world will show a bit of support for our students because they are having a really big fight against capitalism.

Johanne is not insane??

Yeah, right. Because equality is insane?
Let's make a few rich people and a get economical raise, and the poor can just die

we have the same system in germany. fucking awesome to live here.

Norwegian here.

Yes, that is true, but when you get 4000 NOK (norwegian kroner) per month you can't afford nearly as much as you could with a job.

The average norwegian makes between 400000 and 450000 NOK per year. that make about 35000 a month, and then you would have to pay tops 45% in taxes. that will leave you with almost 16000, and in a country as expensive as Norway you 'll need most of that money for food and bills. You can't do shit with 4000 a month.

The biggest problem is that people get "sick", because they will for a period still be payed.

It's a nice observation from the rest of the world looking in, thinking Obama is just prancing around America solving all of our problems and all he needs is "more time". While Bush HELPED get us into this shithole, Obama's not helping get us out. He's already spent more than Bush did in his eight years. He had Congress under his control for the first two years and if he honestly had any good ideas, he could have passed them.
My family earns their money. Combined we make over $150,000 a year after taxes but that is also after working 60 hour weeks, cross-training, and doing extra work for more than one person. We don't get to benefit form any of those social programs because even if we applied, we wouldn't qualify. We also don't have the opportunity to take a "vacation" and hardly take sick leave". There's some who say I'm just a 1%er out for himself and greedy because I'm mad Obama wants me to pay for things I don't agree with. What do I know though? I'm just an 18 year old American who's probably a bugger with a stick up his ass.

Hey, guys! :)

Supporters from Norway reporting in.

We have the exact same tax system as you Danes. i pay 48% of my income in taxes.

and you know what USA? most of us have a good life, good educations, stable jobs, stable loan and economy, free health care, the lowest unemployment rate in Europe. and don't you come here and say its the oil that have made us this way. Norway is a rich country, buy the people and just as rich as you. We haven't seen a red dime of that oil income. its all put away on a account and saved to pay for pensions, roads, and other stuff. we the people don't enjoy the goods of the money until we turn 65.

all of Norway is payed for by tax money, (most of it at least). we have the highest gas prices in Europe and possibly the world even though we make the shit! but you know what, we still live a good life, because we're not raised to be capitalistic in all our way of thinking.

imo Republicans should be ashamed for being so afraid of a more socialistic politic. The republican way of thinking as fucked really, they fear everything that is free and call it communistic and super Red. even your Democrats is still way more Blue than our countries Bluest party. and Norway is still not communists. neither is Denmark or Sweden.
Having a hints of a socialistic approach in your politics does not make you Russian.

The republican politic remind me of the cowboy era, every man for himself, with no help from no one.
Times change, you can't only think of your self. the choices taken in the USA actually affect all of the world. and if this is the case it means that if all of the US is greedy and have a capitalistic way of thinking, it would crack your economy... just like it did back in 2008.
i personally think that a even more socialistic politic would stabilize the poor economy that the US are experiencing today


not trying to offend anyone, but please see what I'm trying to say before thumbing me down. some new blood in your senate wouldn't hurt.

I DON'T SEE YOUR FLAG ON THE MOON

Thank you, people who actually work and contribute to society should reap benefits.

Not the unemployed assholes who expect to stay afloat when they don't do anything.

Og hvis du er formand for "the liberal party" (liberal alliance eller hvad?) er det så ikke lidt stupidt at sidde og skrive sådan der. Alle kan jo finde ud af hvem du er så, hvis du altså er formand for liberal alliance ungdom. Rasmus Brygger?

Det er jeg glad for at du siger!
Men du burde stadigvæk, som aktiv politiker, holde en sober tone.

Se nu, dén tone kan vi jo ikke bruge til noget, vel?

du har en poäng, men överdriver rejält. +sidorna är bättre än de negativa

Bilder du alvorligt dig selv ind at Liberal Alliance kan ændre noget som helst på det.. For hvis du gør er du idiot.
Se på USA, ingen tjener mere end vi gør i Danmark blandt "almindelige" mennesker, fordi at når skatten falder så følger lønnen efter, man kigger på b-indkomst når man forhandler løn og skat. Dine teorier bygger ikke på andet, end jeres liberale sludder, om at det er synd for folk der arbejder hårdt, og I tager slet ikke stilling til folk der har det dårligt og ikke syder med dagpenge eller kontanthjælp eller efterløn. Som der også blev nævnt af en svensker længere oppe kom vi i norden bedst gennem finanskrisen, så velfærd holder!


FUCKING DEAL WITH IT!

SHHHHHH dont let people know that

Let alone pretend you're an american funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/3594689/Lawyered/432#432
Phony.

Ever since Denmark decided to vote for Helle Thorning, shit has gone down the drain.
